MAH → BRU
Which side of the plane to sit from Menorca Airport (Menorca) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic Port of Mahón upon departure and a majestic long-distance panorama of the French Alps while cruising over eastern France.
Port of Mahón
One of the world's largest natural harbors, visible immediately after a northbound departure.
The Alps Panorama
A stunning distant view of the snow-capped French and Swiss Alps to the east during the mid-flight cruise.
Burgundy Vineyards
The geometric patterns of the prestigious wine regions near Dijon and Beaune.
The Ardennes
The dense forests and rolling hills of southern Belgium and Luxembourg as you descend.
Sit on the right for the best chance to see the Port of Mahón shortly after takeoff. For the best views of the Alps, mid-morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the peaks from the southeast. During the descent, look for the Meuse River winding through the industrial and forested landscapes of Wallonia.
Ciutadella Coastline
Bird's-eye view of the western tip of Menorca and its historic secondary port.
Auvergne Volcanoes
The ancient, rounded volcanic peaks of the Massif Central in central France.
Loire Valley
The upper reaches of France's longest river, dotted with historic estates and rural greenery.
Greater Paris
On clear days, the distant sprawling urban layout of the French capital is visible to the west.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. Keep a lookout approximately 40 minutes after takeoff for the distinctive 'Puy' volcanic formations in central France. This side also offers a great perspective of the Belgian countryside on the final approach into Brussels if landing on runway 25R.
