Which side of the plane to sit from Menorca Airport (Menorca) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the rugged northern coast of Menorca during departure and an impressive view of the Pyrenees mountains against the Mediterranean coastline during the approach to Girona.
Northern Cliffs
The dramatic, rocky northern coastline of Menorca, featuring dark slate and red clay formations.
Fornells Bay
The large, sheltered bay on Menorca's north coast, famous for its traditional fishing village.
Cap de Creus
The easternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula, where the Pyrenees mountains plunge into the sea.
The Pyrenees
Spectacular views of the snow-capped Pyrenean peaks stretching across the horizon to the north.
Girona Old Town
A clear view of the Onyar River and the massive Gothic Cathedral of Girona just before touchdown.
The right side is highly recommended for evening flights to catch the golden hour light hitting the Pyrenees. Be sure to look out approximately 10 minutes before landing to spot the Cap de Creus peninsula and the Bay of Roses.
Mahรณn Harbor
View of the deep natural harbor, one of the largest in the world, as the plane climbs away from Menorca.
Southern Coves
Aerial perspective of the turquoise waters and white sands of Cala Macarella and Cala Mitjana.
Balearic Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue Mediterranean water during the mid-flight cruise.
Costa Brava South
The popular tourist resorts of Blanes and Lloret de Mar visible as the aircraft approaches the mainland.
Montseny Massif
The lush green peaks of the Montseny Natural Park visible in the distance during final descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also better for spotting the famous southern beaches of Menorca if the flight path follows a southern departure route.
