Which side of the plane to sit from Faro Airport (Faro) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a spectacular panorama of the Spanish Mediterranean coast, the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada, and a classic approach into the Bay of Palma with views of the cathedral.
Search flights from FAO to PMI
Costa de la Luz
Golden sandy beaches stretching from Huelva towards the Strait of Gibraltar and the Atlantic horizon.
Sierra Nevada Peaks
The highest mountains in mainland Spain, often snow-capped, providing a dramatic backdrop to the Andalusian landscape.
Costa del Sol
A continuous line of white-washed coastal towns and marinas including Marbella and Malaga.
Costa Blanca
The white cliffs and turquoise waters of the Alicante region as the flight transitions over the Mediterranean.
Palma Cathedral
The iconic 'La Seu' Gothic cathedral and the harbor as the plane turns for its final approach into PMI.
This is the premier side for this route. Sit here to see the Sierra Nevada, which remains snow-covered well into summer. On approach into Palma, if the aircraft lands towards the east (Runway 06), you will have a perfect view of the historic center and the super-yachts in the bay. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting as the sun illuminates the coastline.

Ria Formosa Lagoon
Immediate views of the intricate saltwater lagoons and barrier islands of Faro right after takeoff.
Guadalquivir Marshes
The vast, fertile plains and wetlands of the Doñana National Park area as you cross into Spain.
Sierra Morena
The rugged, dark ridges of the southern boundary of the Iberian plateau stretching towards the horizon.
La Mancha Vineyards
Vast agricultural patterns of the world's largest wine-growing region visible in the Spanish interior.
Serra de Tramuntana
The dramatic limestone mountain range of Mallorca's northwest coast visible during the descent.
Choose this side if you prefer the deep reds and oranges of the Spanish interior. For early morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Algarve coastline during departure. Watch for the sharp transition from the green marshes of Huelva to the arid hills of the interior.
