Which side of the plane to sit from Federico Garcia Lorca Airport (Granada) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the high Sierra Nevada peaks shortly after takeoff and the dramatic Serra de Tramuntana mountains during the descent into Palma.
Sierra Nevada Peaks
Spectacular views of the Mulhacén and Veleta peaks, often snow-covered, immediately after departure from Granada.
Costa Blanca
Views of the white sandy beaches and prominent headlands like Cabo de la Nao near Denia.
Sa Dragonera Islet
The dragon-shaped uninhabited islet off the western tip of Mallorca during the descent.
Serra de Tramuntana
The UNESCO-listed mountain range forming the backbone of Mallorca's northwestern coast.
The right side is significantly better for mountain enthusiasts. On departure, the Sierra Nevada provides a majestic backdrop. During the arrival into PMI, planes often bank over the Tramuntana mountains, offering breathtaking views of cliffs and hidden coves. Afternoon flights provide the best light for photography on this side.
Sierras de Cazorla
The dense forests and rugged limestone peaks of the largest protected area in Spain.
Levante Coast
Aerial views of the Mediterranean shoreline near the Gulf of Valencia as the plane leaves the mainland.
Ibiza and Formentera
Distant silhouettes of the Pityusic Islands visible across the blue Mediterranean waters.
Palma Bay
Glances of the city harbor and the Gothic Cathedral of Santa Maria during the final approach.
Sit here for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is ideal for spotting the transition from the olive groves of Andalusia to the clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Keep an eye out for the rugged coastline of the Valencian Community as you head out over the water.
