Which side of the plane to sit from Leipzig/Halle Airport (Leipzig) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic landmarks on this route, including the western ridge of the Alps and the dramatic descent alongside Mallorca's UNESCO-listed Tramuntana mountain range.
Bernese Oberland
Stunning views of the 'Big Three' Alpine peaks: Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau as you cross Switzerland.
Rhône River Valley
The winding path of the Rhône river and the famous vineyards of southeastern France.
Camargue Delta
Look for the distinctive pink hues of the salt pans and wetlands where the Rhône meets the sea.
Serra de Tramuntana
A breathtaking view of Mallorca's rugged northern mountain spine as the plane approaches the island.
Palma Cathedral
On a standard southern approach, the right side provides a clear view of the iconic 'La Seu' Cathedral and the harbor.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to minimize direct sun glare while over the Mediterranean. For the best view of the Tramuntana mountains and Palma city, ensure you are seated behind the wing. Watch for the dramatic change in water color from deep navy to turquoise as you cross the Mallorcan coastline.
Lake Constance
A massive glacial lake bordering Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Central Swiss Alps
Views of the rugged peaks of the Glarus and Central Swiss Alps as the plane heads south.
Gulf of Lion Coastline
Panoramic views of the French Mediterranean coast, including the cities of Marseille and Toulon in the distance.
Mallorca Northeast Coast
Aerial views of the deep blue bays of Alcudia and Pollensa during the initial descent into PMI.
Choose the left side for morning flights to experience a beautiful sunrise over the Mediterranean. During the final approach into Palma, this side offers views of the 'Es Pla' central plains and the historic windmills of the island's interior.
