Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior perspective of the Mediterranean coastline and a stunning aerial approach over the northern bays of Mallorca.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

The Meuse River

Aerial views of the winding river and industrial heritage of Liège immediately after takeoff.

🍾

Champagne Vineyards

The geometric patterns of the famous French vineyards visible during the first half of the flight.

🏔️

Eastern Pyrenees

Dramatic views of the high peaks where France meets Spain, often snow-capped in winter.

🏖️

Costa Brava

The rugged shoreline of Catalonia as the plane transitions from the mainland to the Mediterranean Sea.

🏝️

Bay of Alcúdia

A breathtaking view of the turquoise waters and white sands of northern Mallorca during the descent.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun. As you approach Mallorca, look for the Cap de Formentor, the island's northernmost tip. This side is particularly scenic during the descent when the aircraft often follows the eastern coastline of the island before turning into the airport.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌲

Ardennes Forest

Dense green canopies of southern Belgium visible shortly after departing Liège.

🌋

Massif Central

The ancient volcanic landscapes and plateaus of central France visible in the distance.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

A clear view of the highest peaks of the range, including Aneto, if the flight path is slightly more westerly.

🌆

Barcelona View

Depending on the specific airway, the distinct grid of the Eixample district can be spotted to the west.

⛪

Palma Cathedral

During the final turn for landing, the iconic 'La Seu' cathedral and the harbor often come into view.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over mainland Spain and the Mediterranean. Keep an eye out for the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range as the plane enters Mallorcan airspace. For the best view of the cathedral, watch closely during the final 3-5 minutes of flight if the aircraft is landing from the west.
