Which side of the plane to sit from Edinburgh Airport (Edinburgh) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers views of the English mountains, the French Atlantic coastline, and a spectacular finish with the Tramuntana mountains and Palma's city center on the final approach.

Cumbrian Fells
Dramatic views of the Lake District and the Pennines during the initial transit through the UK.
Bay of Biscay
The sweeping coastline of western France, including the Gironde estuary and the beaches near Biarritz.
Pyrenean Peaks
Aerial views of the highest central peaks of the Pyrenees as the flight path crosses into Spanish territory.
Tramuntana Mountains
The UNESCO-listed mountain range that defines the northwest coast of Mallorca, visible just before landing.
Palma Cathedral
A classic view of the historic 'La Seu' cathedral and the harbor of Palma on the standard approach into PMI.
The right side is the clear winner for the arrival phase. Most flights land facing southwest, meaning the right side looks directly at the city of Palma and its cathedral. Avoid the rows directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Pyrenees and the Balearic coastline.

Northeast Coastline
Early views of the Northumberland coast and the North Sea as the plane tracks south through England.
Massif Central
Distant views of the dormant volcanic landscapes of central France under clear conditions.
Eastern Pyrenees
The rugged border between France and Spain, featuring the eastern foothills of the mountain range.
Northern Balearics
On the descent, you can often spot the neighboring island of Menorca and the bays of Alcúdia and Pollença.
Opt for the left side on early morning departures to enjoy the sunrise over the North Sea. It is also the better side for seeing the patchwork fields of the Mallorcan interior during the final stages of the landing.
