Our Recommendation

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

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.
