Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the rugged Pyrenees mountains and a dramatic approach over the UNESCO-listed Serra de Tramuntana range on Mallorca.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌲

Vosges Mountains

The forested peaks of eastern France visible during the early-middle segment of the journey.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

Breathtaking views of the high peaks and snow-capped ridges marking the border between France and Spain.

🌊

Costa Brava

The turquoise waters and rocky coves of the Spanish northeast coast as you head out over the sea.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

A stunning aerial view of Mallorca's northern mountain range during the initial descent phase.

The right side is the 'scenic winner' for this route. Aim for a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Pyrenees. On the approach to Palma, keep your camera ready as the plane crosses the northern coast of the island; the mountain-to-sea contrast is spectacular.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Rhine-Ruhr Area

Dense urban landscapes of Germany's industrial heartland shortly after departure.

💧

Rhône River Valley

The winding blue path of the Rhône as it flows through southern France toward the sea.

🏖️

Mediterranean Coast

Panoramic views of the French coastline including the areas around Montpellier and the Gulf of Lion.

⛪

Palma Cathedral

If the flight approaches from the east, you will get a glimpse of the massive Gothic cathedral by the sea.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harshest direct sunlight over France. This side is often better for seeing the Bay of Palma and the city center during the final seconds of the landing sequence if the wind is coming from the west.
