Which side of the plane to sit from Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield Airport (Doncaster, Sheffield) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an exceptional perspective of the Eastern Pyrenees and the dramatic cliffs of northern Mallorca during the descent into Palma.
Humber Estuary
Aerial view of the large tidal estuary where the Ouse and Trent rivers meet the North Sea shortly after takeoff.
Normandy Coastline
The white chalk cliffs and historic beaches of Northern France as the aircraft enters continental airspace.
Massif Central
Rugged volcanic plateaus and ancient mountain ranges in central France offering textural landscapes.
Eastern Pyrenees
Spectacular snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between France and Spain.
Cap de Formentor
The northernmost point of Mallorca featuring sheer cliffs dropping into the turquoise Mediterranean Sea.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Pyrenees mountain range approximately 90 minutes into the flight. If arriving during the day, the morning sun will be on this side, so window shades or sunglasses are recommended. This side offers the most dramatic view of the Tramuntana mountain range as the plane maneuvers for landing.
Peak District
Rolling green hills and moorlands of the UK's first national park visible during the initial climb.
Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France' featuring the winding Loire River and glimpses of historic chateaus.
Western Pyrenees
The western stretches of the mountain range near the Basque Country border.
Costa Brava
The rugged 'Brave Coast' of Catalonia as the flight leaves mainland Spain for the Mediterranean crossing.
Bay of Palma
Glittering views of the yacht-filled bay and the cathedral of Palma just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Bay of Biscay and Western France. During the final approach into PMI, seats on the right often get a panoramic view of the city of Palma and its massive Gothic cathedral. Avoid seats over the wing (rows 12-20 on most narrow-body jets) to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline.
