Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an exceptional vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the French Mediterranean coast and a stunning aerial approach over the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range on Mallorca.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌳

Ardennes Border

Views of the dense forested hills spanning the border between Belgium and France shortly after takeoff.

🌋

Massif Central

Spot the unique volcanic topography and rugged plateaus of central France during the cruise phase.

🏖️

Languedoc Coastline

A beautiful transition from land to sea near Montpellier, featuring coastal lagoons and sandy strips.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Breathtaking views of the UNESCO World Heritage limestone peaks as the plane descends into Mallorca.

Opt for an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the French landscape and the Mallorcan mountains. This side is superior for seeing the island's coastline first upon arrival. Watch for the Etang de Thau lagoon on the French coast about 20 minutes before reaching the sea.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🚜

Picardy Plains

The vast, colorful agricultural patchwork of northern France visible during the initial climb.

🍷

Rhone Valley Glimpse

Distant views of the winding Rhone River and the gateway to the French Riviera to the east.

🌊

Balearic Sea

Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean as you leave mainland Europe behind.

⛪

Palma Cathedral

During the final turn into PMI, look for the massive Gothic 'La Seu' cathedral standing by the sea.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. Keep an eye out for the distant silhouette of the Pyrenees to the far west during mid-flight. During the final approach, this side often offers a better view of the city of Palma and its harbor if the plane circles from the south.
