Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Western Alps, including the Mont Blanc massif, followed by a picturesque descent along the French Mediterranean coast and a direct view of Palma's city center during many landing patterns.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏰

Rhine Valley

Follow the winding path of the Rhine river through western Germany with its numerous historical landmarks.

🗻

Mont Blanc Massif

The ultimate highlight: breathtaking views of Europe's highest peak and the surrounding glaciers.

🌊

French Riviera

The transition from the Alps to the Mediterranean coast, often passing near the shimmering Gulf of Lion.

⛪

Palma Cathedral

On standard landings from the bay (Runway 06), you get a perfect close-up view of the iconic La Seu Cathedral.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides the best opportunity to see the highest Alpine peaks. For the best landing experience, look out as the plane banks over the Bay of Palma; you will see the cruise ship harbor and the historic city center clearly.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌲

Harz Mountains

Aerial views of the dense forests and the Brocken peak shortly after departure from Lübeck.

🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

High-altitude views of the glaciated peaks near Lake Lucerne and the Gotthard massif.

🏙️

Milan & Lombardy

On a clear day, look far left to see the sprawling urban landscape of Milan against the Po Valley.

🏖️

Mallorca North Coast

Dramatic views of the Cap de Formentor and the deep blue waters of Alcudia Bay during the approach.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Mediterranean Sea. During the final approach to Palma (PMI), this side offers a better perspective of the rugged Serra de Tramuntana mountain range if the plane approaches from the northeast.
