Which side of the plane to sit from Exeter International Airport (Exeter) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views during the approach to Palma, including the bay and the historic cathedral, alongside beautiful views of the French Atlantic coast.
English Channel
Look down at the busy maritime traffic between the UK and France shortly after departure.
Aquitaine Region
Vast views of the vineyards surrounding Bordeaux and the distinctive Gironde estuary.
Pyrenees National Park
Spectacular views of the central Pyrenees, including some of the highest and most snow-covered peaks.
Bay of Palma
A sweeping view of the Mediterranean bay as the plane banks for its final approach into PMI.
Palma Cathedral
The massive Gothic cathedral 'La Seu' is a highlight on the right side when landing from the west.
The right side is highly recommended for the scenic 'Bay of Palma' approach. If landing towards the east, you'll get an unbeatable view of the city's harbor and cathedral. Afternoon flights are particularly scenic as the low sun illuminates the Mediterranean water and the limestone buildings of Palma. Ensure your window is clean for high-altitude shots of the Pyrenees.
Jurassic Coast
Aerial perspective of Devon's white cliffs and unique geological formations right after takeoff.
Loire Valley
Views of central France's famous river valley and historic estates during the mid-flight cruise.
Eastern Pyrenees
The sharp peaks and valleys of the eastern end of the mountain range dividing France and Spain.
Costa Brava
The beautiful, rugged coastline of northern Spain as the flight heads out over the Mediterranean.
Serra de Tramuntana
The UNESCO World Heritage mountain range that dominates the northwestern coast of Mallorca.
The left side is best for mountain enthusiasts, offering views of the Serra de Tramuntana range during the descent into Mallorca. Opt for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, providing clear, glare-free views of the French landscape and the Spanish coast. Watch for the change in water color as you cross from the mainland to the Balearic Islands.
