Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this route as it offers distant views of the French Alps, a panoramic perspective of the Gulf of Lion, and the iconic approach over the Bay of Palma.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Rhine-Ruhr Countryside

Lush green landscapes of the lower Rhine region and the Eifel mountains shortly after takeoff from Weeze.

🏔️

Distant French Alps

On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the French Alps are visible on the eastern horizon while cruising over central France.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

The transition from the French coastline into the deep blue Mediterranean Sea near the Camargue region.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

The rugged, UNESCO-listed mountain range that forms the backbone of Mallorca's northern coast.

⛪

Palma Cathedral (La Seu)

A stunning view of the massive Gothic cathedral and the historic center of Palma during the final approach.

🚤

Bay of Palma

The sprawling bay filled with yachts and the busy port area as the plane aligns for the runway.

For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the French landscape. During the final 10 minutes, stay alert for the 'La Seu' Cathedral; it is the highlight of the descent. If the aircraft approaches from the north, you will see the dramatic cliffs of the Tramuntana mountains first.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌳

Ardennes & Luxembourg

The dense forests and rolling hills of the Ardennes region visible during the first third of the flight.

🌋

Massif Central

The unique volcanic topography and high plateaus of south-central France.

🏔️

Pyrenees Horizon

The distant peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range marking the border between France and Spain.

🏖️

Languedoc Coastline

Aerial views of the salt marshes, lagoons, and sandy beaches near Montpellier and Perpignan.

🏝️

Sa Dragonera

The small, uninhabited islet shaped like a dragon off the western tip of Mallorca during the descent.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. It offers a better view of the Massif Central's rugged terrain. During arrival, keep an eye out for the rocky western coastline of Mallorca and the smaller Balearic islands in the distance.
