Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
While the Left Side offers distant views of the Alps, the Right Side is superior for the arrival phase, providing iconic views of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains and the spectacular Bay of Palma including the Cathedral during landing.

Eifel & Ardennes
Rolling green hills and dense forests of the low mountain ranges shortly after takeoff.
Rhône Valley
Following the path of the Rhône River through the famous vineyards of central and southern France.
Serra de Tramuntana
Dramatic limestone cliffs and peaks of Mallorca's UNESCO World Heritage mountain range during descent.
Palma Cathedral
A world-class view of the Gothic 'La Seu' Cathedral and the Almudaina Palace right before touchdown.
Port of Palma
Detailed views of luxury yachts and cruise ships docked in the bustling harbor as the plane banks for landing.
The right side is essential for the 'Palma approach.' Most flights land facing West (Runway 24L/R), meaning the Right Side gets the view of the city and cathedral. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the flap deployment against the island backdrop. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting on the Tramuntana mountains.

Rhine-Ruhr Valley
Immediate views of the dense urban landscape and industrial architecture surrounding Düsseldorf.
Distant Swiss Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss Alps are visible on the far eastern horizon over France.
Côte d'Azur Fringe
Aerial perspective of the French coastline near Marseille before heading out over the open sea.
Mediterranean Crossing
Deep turquoise waters and passing cargo ships as you cross from mainland Europe to the Balearic Islands.
Alcúdia Bay
Initial sightings of the northern Mallorcan coastline and the sprawling sandy beaches of Alcúdia.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Rhine, though be prepared for some glare. Look for the glint of the Mediterranean about 30 minutes before landing. This side is better if the flight path takes a more easterly route over Italy's coast, though less common for DUS-PMI.
