LPL → PMI
Which side of the plane to sit from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Spanish Mediterranean coastline, including distant views of Barcelona and a spectacular approach over the Serra de Tramuntana mountains in Mallorca.
Liverpool & Mersey
Panoramic views of the Liverpool docklands and the city's iconic skyline immediately after takeoff.
Loire Valley
Glance down at the patchwork of central France and the historic chateaux of the Loire region.
Massif Central
The rugged, volcanic landscape of south-central France provides dramatic terrain shifts.
Costa Brava
The rugged, turquoise coastline of Catalonia as the flight transitions over the Mediterranean.
Barcelona Skyline
On clear days, the Sagrada Família and the distinct Eixample grid are visible to the east during the descent.
Serra de Tramuntana
The dramatic UNESCO-listed mountain range on the northwest coast of Mallorca as you approach PMI.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Look out for the Montserrat mountain range just before reaching the Spanish coast—it looks like a jagged saw on the horizon.
Snowdonia Peaks
Views of the highest mountains in Wales to the west shortly after departing Liverpool.
Bay of Biscay
The vast blue expanse where the French coast meets the Atlantic ocean.
Central Pyrenees
Stunning views of the highest snow-capped peaks in the mountain range separating France and Spain.
Ebro Delta
The unique wetland geography where the Ebro river meets the Mediterranean Sea.
Palma Cathedral
As the plane turns for final approach, the 'La Seu' Cathedral and the Bay of Palma often appear on the right.
The right side is excellent for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Pyrenees and the Bay of Biscay. During the final descent into Palma, keep your camera ready for the bright blue waters of the bay.
