Which side of the plane to sit from Girona Airport (Gerona) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Catalan coastline, including distant views of Barcelona and the stunning approach over the Serra de Tramuntana mountains in Mallorca.
Barcelona Skyline
On clear days, the Sagrada Família and the city of Barcelona are visible along the coast to the southwest.
Montserrat
The distinctive serrated peaks of the Montserrat mountain range can be seen inland shortly after departure.
Serra de Tramuntana
A spectacular view of the UNESCO-listed mountain range that forms the backbone of western Mallorca.
Palma Cathedral
If landing from the north, the massive 'La Seu' cathedral and the harbor come into view just before touchdown.
Port of Palma
Views of the massive cruise ships and luxury yachts docked in the capital's vibrant harbor.
The right side is unbeatable during sunset flights as the sun dips behind the Tramuntana mountains. Request a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. During the approach, look for the 'Sa Dragonera' island off the western tip of Mallorca.
Costa Brava Coastline
Aerial views of the rugged 'Wild Coast' and the deep blue coves of Palamós shortly after takeoff.
Balearic Sea
Expansive views of the Mediterranean horizon during the short cruise phase of the flight.
Cap de Formentor
The dramatic, narrow peninsula at the northernmost point of Mallorca visible during the descent.
Badia de Pollença
A clear view of the large bay and the northern resorts of Mallorca as the plane maneuvers for landing.
Sit on the left for the best morning light as the sun rises over the sea. This side is ideal for spotting the initial coastline of Mallorca at Formentor. For the best views of the water's color, a mid-morning flight is recommended when the sun is higher.
