MAH → CGN
Which side of the plane to sit from Menorca Airport (Menorca) to Cologne Bonn Airport (Cologne)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning coastline of the French Riviera, a panoramic view of the distant Alps, and a scenic approach over the Rhine River and Cologne city center.
Mahón Harbor
A spectacular view of one of the world's largest natural harbors right after departure.
Marseille & Provence
Dramatic views of the French coastline, the Calanques, and the bustling port of Marseille.
Alps Panorama
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Western Alps are visible on the eastern horizon.
Vosges Mountains
Dense forest canopies and rounded peaks of the Vosges range as the flight traverses eastern France.
Rhine River
Iconic views of the Rhine as it snakes through the industrial and historic heart of Germany.
Cologne Cathedral
A potential view of the world-famous Kölner Dom during the final approach into CGN.
The right side is highly recommended for its views of the French coast and the Alps. For the best experience, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the mountains. During the landing at CGN, the right side often provides the iconic view of the Cathedral if the plane approaches from the south.
Western Menorca
Aerial views of Ciutadella and the turquoise coves of the island's western tip shortly after takeoff.
Golfe du Lion
The expansive blue of the Mediterranean meeting the French coastline near Montpellier.
Massif Central
Rugged terrain and ancient volcanic landscapes of south-central France visible during mid-flight.
Moselle Valley
The winding curves and steep vineyard-covered hills of the Moselle river as you enter German airspace.
The Eifel
Deep green forests and volcanic maars of the Eifel mountain range during the initial descent.
Choose the left side for better views of the Balearic coastline during departure and the dramatic volcanic landscapes of central France. This side is typically better for avoiding direct glare during afternoon flights heading north.
