Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this short inter-island hop, offering a potential view of the world-famous Palma Cathedral (La Seu) and the city skyline during the approach into Mallorca.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⚓

Mahón Harbor

One of the world's largest natural harbors, visible immediately after takeoff from Menorca.

🏘️

Binibeca Vell

The iconic whitewashed 'fishing village' of Menorca's southern coast, looking like a cluster of sugar cubes.

🌊

Canal de Menorca

The deep blue stretch of the Mediterranean separating the two islands, often dotted with yachts and ferries.

⛪

Palma Cathedral

The massive Gothic 'La Seu' cathedral standing right by the sea as you descend into Palma.

🏙️

Palma Cityscape

Panoramic views of the capital's historic center and the bustling Paseo Marítimo.

Sit on the left for the most iconic views of the Palma Cathedral during the final approach. Since this flight is extremely short (approx. 25-40 minutes), keep your window blind up from the moment you board. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the Mallorcan coastline on this side.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏞️

S'Albufera des Grau

Menorca's most important wetland and nature reserve, visible if departing toward the north.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

The rugged UNESCO World Heritage mountain range forming the backbone of Mallorca's northern coast.

🏖️

Badia d'Alcúdia

A massive sweeping bay on Mallorca's northeast with turquoise waters and long sandy stretches.

🏰

Bellver Castle

The unique circular Gothic castle overlooking the Bay of Palma during the final descent.

The right side is ideal for spotting the dramatic cliffs of the Tramuntana mountains. If the wind dictates an approach from the west, you will get an incredible overview of the cruise ship port and the circular Bellver Castle. Morning flights offer the best light for the northern Mallorcan landscape.
