Which side of the plane to sit from Eelde Airport (Groningen) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more dramatic sequence of landmarks, including the rugged Massif Central, the distant Pyrenees, and the iconic aerial view of Palma city and its cathedral during the final approach.
Parisian Horizon
On clear days, the distant sprawl of Paris and its outskirts are visible to the west.
Massif Central
Dramatic views of ancient extinct volcanoes and the Puy de Dôme region in central France.
Pyrenees Vista
The snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range forming the border between France and Spain.
Barcelona Coastline
The Mediterranean coast near Catalonia, often visible before the aircraft turns toward the Balearics.
Palma Cathedral (La Seu)
A stunning view of the Gothic cathedral and the harbor if the flight lands via the Bay of Palma.
This is the 'scenic side' for the approach. Most flights into PMI land on Runway 06, meaning the plane flies over the sea and turns toward the city. A right-side seat offers an unbeatable view of the Cathedral and the city center just moments before touchdown. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the Spanish coast.
Dutch Polder Landscapes
Intricate patterns of canals and green agricultural plots immediately after departing Groningen.
Ardennes Foothills
The dense forests and rolling hills of eastern Belgium and the French border region.
Rhône Valley Vineyards
The winding path of the Rhône river and the world-famous wine regions of eastern France.
Gulf of Lion
The transition from the French coastline to the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea.
Serra de Tramuntana
Mallorca's UNESCO-protected northern mountain range visible during the initial descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides an excellent perspective of the French river systems and the rugged northern cliffs of Mallorca as the aircraft approaches the island from the north.
