Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic landmarks of this route, including the Dutch coastline, the volcanic landscapes of central France, and a breathtaking approach that typically passes the city of Barcelona and the rugged Tramuntana mountains of Mallorca.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

The Wadden Sea

The intricate patterns of the Frisian Islands and tidal sandbanks along the German and Dutch coastlines.

🌋

Massif Central

The ancient, dormant volcanic craters and lush green plateaus of the Auvergne region in central France.

🏙️

Barcelona Cityscape

A magnificent view of the Eixample's grid pattern, the Sagrada Família, and the busy Mediterranean port.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

The UNESCO-listed mountain range that forms the backbone of Mallorca, seen just before landing at Palma.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to stay in the shade. The highlight is the approach into Palma; if landing from the north, you will see the entire coast of Barcelona followed by the dramatic cliffs of Mallorca's northern coast. Watch for the 'Puys' (volcanoes) while crossing central France at mid-flight.

🇩🇰

Copenhagen & Øresund

A quick glimpse of the Danish capital and the massive bridge connecting Sweden and Denmark shortly after departure.

🏔️

Distant Alps

On clear days, the high peaks of the Swiss and French Alps are visible on the far eastern horizon while cruising over France.

⛰️

Eastern Pyrenees

Views of the jagged peaks where the mountain range meets the Mediterranean sea near the French-Spanish border.

🏝️

Menorca Silhouette

As the plane begins its final descent, the neighboring island of Menorca is often visible across the turquoise water.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and for better views of the sunrise over the Baltic Sea. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes of flight for the Oresund Bridge. During the winter, this side offers better views of the snow-capped Pyrenees peaks to the east.
