Which side of the plane to sit from Kassel-Calden Airport (Kassel) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular aerial perspective of the Black Forest, the French Massif Central, and a breathtaking approach over the UNESCO-listed Serra de Tramuntana mountains in Mallorca.
Black Forest
Deep green canopies and rolling hills of the Schwarzwald region in southwestern Germany.
Massif Central
The unique volcanic landscapes and plateaus of south-central France, visible while cruising at altitude.
Golfe du Lion
The sweeping curve of the French Mediterranean coast as you transition from land to sea.
Serra de Tramuntana
A stunning bird's-eye view of Mallorca's rugged northwest mountain range and the famous Sa Calobra road.
Port de Sóller
The iconic circular bay and harbor of Sóller nestled into the base of the mountains just before landing.
The right side is unbeatable for the 'scenic route' arrival into Palma. Sit here to witness the dramatic contrast between the high peaks of the Tramuntana and the deep blue Mediterranean. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for photography of the French landscape without glare.
Swiss Alps Panorama
Distant but clear views of the snow-capped peaks of the central Swiss Alps shortly after crossing the German border.
Lake Constance
Glittering views of the Bodensee, where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria converge.
Marseille & French Riviera
A view of the Mediterranean coastline and the historic port city of Marseille as the plane exits the European mainland.
Bay of Alcúdia
The turquoise waters and long sandy beaches of northern Mallorca visible during the initial descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Alpine glaciers. During arrival, this side often sees the historic center of Palma and the Cathedral (La Seu) if the plane approaches from the south.
