Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic approach into Palma, providing views of the cathedral and the historic harbor, alongside glimpses of London and the Massif Central during the flight.

Greater London

On clear days, the sprawling urban expanse of London and the Thames can be seen to the east.

๐ŸŒ‹

Massic Central

The rugged, ancient volcanic landscape of south-central France.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Serra de Tramuntana

The dramatic UNESCO-protected mountain range running along Mallorca's northwest coast.

โ›ช

Palma Cathedral

The spectacular 'La Seu' cathedral and the Bay of Palma during the final approach descent.

The left side is most beneficial for the arrival phase. Sit here to avoid direct sun glare on morning flights. Keep your camera ready as the plane banks over the Mediterranean for the final approach, as the city of Palma and its massive cathedral are best viewed from this side.
