Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the high Western Alps, including the Mont Blanc massif, and provides the most dramatic approach into Mallorca with views of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏞️

Lake Geneva

The deep blue crescent of Lac Léman, with Geneva and Lausanne visible on the shoreline.

🗻

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in the Alps, often capped in snow year-round, provides a spectacular mid-flight landmark.

🏰

Avignon & Rhone Valley

Follow the winding path of the Rhone River through the historic Provence region of southern France.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Mallorca's UNESCO-listed mountain range dominates the view during the descent into Palma.

🏖️

Northern Majorcan Bays

Views of the crystal-clear waters of Pollença and Alcúdia bays before the final turn to land.

Sit on the right for the most iconic Alpine views. During the descent, look for the rugged limestone cliffs of Mallorca's west coast. Afternoon flights offer excellent golden-hour lighting over the Mediterranean and the Tramuntana mountains.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌲

Thuringian Forest

Dense, rolling green hills of the German heartland visible shortly after departure from Erfurt.

🏔️

Bernese Oberland

Views of the famous Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks as the flight traverses central Switzerland.

🏙️

Marseille & Port

The sprawling French port city and the Frioul archipelago visible as the plane leaves mainland Europe.

🦩

Camargue Wetlands

Distinctive salt pans and lagoons of the Rhone Delta, often showing pink and turquoise hues.

⛵

Bay of Palma

If landing toward the east, the cathedral and harbor of Palma are visible on final descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to see the sparkling French Riviera coastline. It is also the best side for spotting the iconic Palma Cathedral if the aircraft approaches over the bay from the west.
