Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning views of the Alps, the Left Side is superior due to the high probability of seeing the Venetian Lagoon and the iconic city of Venice from above, followed by a dramatic approach into Palma with views of the cathedral.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

The Dolomites

Spectacular views of the jagged limestone peaks and deep valleys of the Italian Alps shortly after crossing the Austrian border.

🎭

Venice and the Lagoon

A breathtaking aerial perspective of the historic city, the Grand Canal, and the surrounding islands of the Venetian Lagoon.

🏖️

Adriatic Coastline

Views of the long sandy beaches of Lido di Jesolo and the transition from land to the deep blue of the Adriatic Sea.

🏝️

Corsica & Sardinia

On clear days, the rugged silhouettes of these Mediterranean islands are visible to the south during the mid-flight cruise.

🏰

Palma Cathedral (La Seu)

During the final approach into PMI, the left side often provides a stunning view of the Gothic cathedral overlooking the harbor.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. The highlight is Venice, which usually appears 20-25 minutes after departure from Graz. During the descent into Mallorca, stay alert as the plane banks over the Bay of Palma for the best architectural views.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Hohe Tauern Range

Dramatic views of Austria's highest mountains, including the Grossglockner massif, immediately after takeoff.

💧

Lake Garda

Italy's largest lake is often visible in the distance, nestled at the foot of the Alps with its distinctive narrow northern end.

🏙️

Milan & Po Valley

The vast, geometric agricultural patterns of the Po Valley and the sprawling urban landscape of the Lombardy region.

🌊

Gulf of Genoa

The point where the Apennine Mountains meet the Mediterranean Sea, offering views of the Italian Riviera.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Mallorca's UNESCO-listed mountain range is clearly visible as the flight approaches the island from the north or northeast.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. It offers a more continuous view of the Alpine chain during the first third of the flight. Upon arrival, if the plane circles the island, you will get an excellent view of the rugged northern coastline.
