Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a superior experience as it typically provides a stunning view of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range and the dramatic rugged coastline of western Mallorca during the descent into Palma.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏞️

Upper Rhine Valley

Glimpses of the winding Rhine River and the Vosges mountains across the border in France.

🌋

Massif Central

Fly over the ancient volcanic landscapes and deep gorges of south-central France.

🏔️

Pyrenees Peaks

Distant but majestic views of the jagged mountain border between France and Spain to the southwest.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

A breathtaking view of Mallorca's UNESCO World Heritage mountain range that runs along the northwest coast.

🏰

Palma Cathedral

A glimpse of the iconic 'La Seu' cathedral and the harbor as the plane makes its final turn for landing.

The Right Side is the clear winner for the approach into Palma. Most flights arrive from the north, and sitting on the right allows for a close-up look at the dramatic cliffs and mountain villages of the Tramuntana. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, lighting up the coastline perfectly.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Hannover Cityscape

Panoramic views of the capital of Lower Saxony and its surrounding forests shortly after departure.

⛰️

French Prealps

On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the western Alps may be visible on the horizon to the southeast.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

Views of the Mediterranean coastline near Montpellier and the Etang de Thau as you leave the French mainland.

⛱️

Bay of Alcúdia

Aerial views of the long sandy beaches and turquoise waters on the northeast side of Mallorca during arrival.

Choose the Left Side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while descending. During the winter months, look for snow on the distant Alpine peaks as you cross through eastern France.
