Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the UK's Lake District, the high central Pyrenees, and the stunning Serra de Tramuntana mountains during the descent into Mallorca.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Firth of Clyde

Panoramic views of the Isle of Arran and Ailsa Craig shortly after departing the Scottish coast.

🏞️

The Lake District

Exceptional views of England's largest national park, featuring Windermere and the Cumbrian fells.

🚢

English Channel

A bird's-eye view of the world's busiest shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the Isle of Wight.

🍇

Aquitaine Basin

The famous wine-growing regions surrounding Bordeaux and the long sandy stretches of the Atlantic coast.

🏔️

High Pyrenees

Dramatic views of the highest peaks in the mountain range, including Aneto, often remaining snow-capped into summer.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

The UNESCO-listed limestone mountains of Mallorca, visible during the dramatic descent into PMI.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. The highlight is the approach to Mallorca; if the aircraft approaches from the north, you will fly directly alongside the rugged northwestern coastline and mountain range.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Glasgow Cityscape

Aerial views of the River Clyde and the Glasgow city center immediately after takeoff from GLA.

🗼

Parisian Horizon

On clear days, the distant skyline of Paris and the Eiffel Tower are often visible as the flight crosses central France.

🏰

Loire Valley

The winding 'Garden of France' featuring historic châteaux and vast vineyards as you head south.

⛰️

Eastern Pyrenees

The rugged transition from the French countryside into the snow-capped border of Spain.

🏖️

Costa Brava

The jagged cliffs and turquoise coves of the northern Spanish coastline near Girona.

⛪

La Seu Cathedral

A prime view of Palma’s massive Gothic cathedral when the plane performs its final turn over the bay.

Choose the left side for morning departures to enjoy softer light over France. This side is particularly rewarding during the final approach into Palma, as it often provides a direct view of the harbor and the iconic cathedral before touchdown.
