Which side of the plane to sit from Menorca Airport (Menorca) to Valencia Airport (Valencia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most dramatic scenery, specifically the rugged Serra de Tramuntana mountains on Mallorca and a superior angle of the Valencia skyline upon arrival.
Serra de Tramuntana
UNESCO World Heritage limestone mountains running along Mallorca's northwest coast with peaks reaching 1,445 meters.
Cap de Formentor
The dramatic northernmost point of Mallorca with its iconic lighthouse and sheer vertical cliffs.
Port of Valencia
Excellent views of the sprawling industrial and cruise port during the low-altitude descent over the Gulf of Valencia.
City of Arts and Sciences
The futuristic Calatrava-designed complex is often clearly visible when the flight approaches the runway from the east.
The right side is premier for mountain enthusiasts. Aim for a window seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Tramuntana range as you cross Mallorca. During the final approach into VLC, the right side usually offers the best view of the modern city landmarks and the historic city center before touchdown.
Menorca Southern Calas
Aerial views of the famous turquoise coves like Cala Macarella during departure from the island.
Palma de Mallorca Bay
A broad view of the capital of the Balearics and its massive harbor and cathedral from a distance.
Cabrera Archipelago
The protected maritime-terrestrial national park situated south of Mallorca, visible as a cluster of rugged islands.
Albufera de Valencia
The large freshwater lagoon and rice paddies just south of the city, visible during certain approach patterns.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the Mediterranean. It is also the better side for spotting the smaller, uninhabited islands of the Cabrera archipelago. During the descent, keep an eye out for the green rice fields surrounding the Albufera lagoon south of Valencia.
