MAH → MAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Menorca Airport (Menorca) to Manchester Airport (Manchester)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the Spanish mainland coast near Barcelona, the highest peaks of the Pyrenees, and the Atlantic-facing landscapes of France and the UK.
Balearic Sea Crossing
Deep azure waters as you climb away from the islands toward the Spanish mainland.
Barcelona Skyline
Excellent views of the Catalan capital and the Sagrada Familia in the distance on clear days.
High Pyrenees
Dramatic snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys as the flight crosses from Spain into France.
Bordeaux Vineyards
The organized patterns of some of the world's most famous vineyards in southwestern France.
English Channel
The transition from the French coast to the white-flecked waters of the Channel.
English Midlands
A classic patchwork of green fields and historic market towns as you head north.
Opt for the left side on morning flights to have the sun behind you, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Pyrenees. Keep an eye out about 20-30 minutes after takeoff for the Spanish coast. In the winter, the snow-covered mountains are particularly striking.
Menorca North Coast
A final look at the rugged northern cliffs and hidden turquoise coves like Cala Pregonda.
Massif Central
The unique volcanic domes and ancient craters of the Auvergne region in central France.
Loire Valley
Glancing views of France's longest river and the grand chateaux that line its banks.
Channel Shipping Lanes
Dozens of cargo ships and ferries visible in one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.
Greater London
On very clear days, the distant sprawl of London and its iconic skyscrapers may be visible to the east.
Peak District
The rolling limestone hills and dark moors of northern England during the final descent into Manchester.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset on late afternoon flights. During the descent into Manchester, the right side usually provides the best views of the Peak District and the Manchester city centre skyline if the aircraft is landing from the northeast (Runway 23).
