MAD → MAH
Which side of the plane to sit from Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (Madrid) to Menorca Airport (Menorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer great views, the right side is superior for its direct view of the city of Valencia and the iconic turquoise southern coves of Menorca during the final descent.
Search flights from MAD to MAH
Central Madrid
Views of the Retiro Park and the dense historic center of Madrid if taking off towards the south.
Valencia City
A perfect overhead view of the City of Arts and Sciences and the expansive Port of Valencia.
L'Albufera Lagoon
The massive freshwater lagoon and rice paddies south of Valencia, appearing as a mirror-like surface.
Menorcan Calas
The highlight of the trip: the stunning turquoise waters of Cala Macarella, Turqueta, and Mitjana on approach.
Choose the right side for morning flights to see the Mediterranean sun reflecting off the water. As you approach Menorca, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the white sand beaches and the deep blue sea. If the wind is from the west, you will circle the island, providing an even longer look at the southern coast.

Madrid Cuatro Torres
Aerial view of Madrid's northern business district and its four tallest skyscrapers shortly after takeoff.
Sistema Ibérico
Looking north towards the rugged mountain ranges of Teruel and the distant edges of the Pyrenees on clear days.
Costa del Azahar
The transition from the Spanish mainland to the Balearic Sea near the northern coast of Castellón.
Northern Menorca Cliffs
A view of the wilder, more rugged northern coastline of the island including the Cavalleria lighthouse.
Sit on the left for evening flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. It offers a better perspective of the Ebro Delta if the flight path is slightly more northerly than usual.
