LEIPMI

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior scenic experience, providing continuous views of the rugged Spanish coastline, famous salt lagoons, and the Pityusic Islands before reaching Mallorca.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏜️

Cabo de Gata-Níjar

Aerial views of the volcanic landscapes and pristine beaches of this protected natural park immediately after takeoff.

⚓

Cartagena Harbor

The historic naval port and the distinct horseshoe-shaped bay of this ancient Roman city.

🌊

Mar Menor Lagoon

Europe's largest salt lagoon, clearly defined by the narrow 22km sand strip of La Manga.

🏰

Alicante & Mount Benacantil

The city of Alicante and the historic Santa Bárbara Castle perched high on the cliffside.

🏝️

Ibiza and Formentera

During the crossing of the Balearic Sea, the silhouettes of the neighboring islands are often visible to the north.

Sit on the left for the best morning light; the sun will be behind you, making the turquoise coastal waters pop. For the best view of the Mar Menor, ensure you are in a window seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion.

Right Side Highlights
6.0
🌅

Mediterranean Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea and the sun reflecting off the water.

🛥️

Maritime Traffic

Frequent sightings of ferries and cruise ships traveling between the Spanish mainland and the Balearic Islands.

🏖️

Bay of Palma

A sweeping view of the entire bay and the marina as the aircraft aligns for the final approach into PMI.

⛪

Palma Cathedral

The massive Gothic 'La Seu' cathedral is often visible on the right during the final seconds of the descent.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights. As you approach Palma de Mallorca, the low sun illuminates the city and the cathedral in a golden glow, providing excellent photo opportunities during landing.
