Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic views of the volcanic Massif Central and a superior angle of the Pyrenees mountain range during the border crossing.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⚓

Port of Hamburg

Incredible views of the massive container terminals and the Elbe river winding toward the sea.

🌋

Auvergne Volcanoes

The unique chain of dormant volcanic cones in the Massif Central region of central France.

🏔️

Pyrenees Peaks

A breathtaking crossing of the high mountain border between France and Spain, often snow-covered.

🏖️

Costa Brava

The rugged, rocky coastline and hidden coves of north-eastern Spain near Barcelona.

⛰️

Tramuntana Mountains

The dramatic UNESCO World Heritage mountain range that defines the northwest coast of Mallorca.

The right side is unbeatable for late afternoon or evening flights as you'll witness the sunset over the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready about 80-90 minutes after takeoff for the Pyrenees crossing, which is the flight's visual climax.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Hamburg Alster

Clear views of the city center and the Binnenalster lake during a southern departure.

🏔️

Distant Alps

On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Swiss Alps are visible on the horizon.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

The sweeping curve of the French Mediterranean coastline as the plane leaves the mainland.

⛪

Palma Cathedral

The iconic 'La Seu' cathedral and the harbor are often visible during the final approach pattern.

Choose the left side for the best chance to see the iconic Palma Cathedral during the final descent. For morning flights, this side receives direct sunlight, which is great for seeing the Alps but can cause glare on your photos.
