Which side of the plane to sit from Nantes Atlantique Airport (Nantes) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Loire river at takeoff, the majestic eastern Pyrenees mountain range, and the stunning Mediterranean coastline including the Costa Brava during the descent toward the Balearic Islands.
Nantes and the Loire
A bird's-eye view of the historic city of Nantes and the winding Loire River immediately after takeoff.
Eastern Pyrenees
Impressive views of the high peaks near Andorra and the border between France and Spain.
Costa Brava
As the plane transitions from land to sea, the rugged cliffs and turquoise coves of the Spanish coast are often visible.
Balearic Sea
Vast expanses of the deep blue Mediterranean as you cross the water toward Mallorca.
Serra de Tramuntana
The UNESCO-protected mountain range on the northern coast of Mallorca becomes visible during the final descent.
For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Pyrenees. Morning flights are particularly beautiful as the sun rises over the Mediterranean, illuminating the coastlines of Spain and the island's mountain ridges.
French Atlantic Coast
Panoramic views of the Vendée shoreline and the Bay of Biscay shortly after departure.
Île de Ré and Oléron
Clear sightings of these prominent French islands near the city of La Rochelle.
Central Pyrenees
Looking west toward the highest peaks of the Pyrenees, often snow-capped well into the spring.
Aragon Landscapes
The arid, dramatic terrain of central northern Spain, featuring unique geological formations and the Ebro valley.
Palma Bay
During specific landing patterns (Runway 06), you may see the iconic Palma Cathedral and the harbor on the final approach.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean and the Spanish mainland. Keep your camera ready as you approach Palma; if the plane circles the bay, you will get an excellent view of the city's historic architecture and the cruise ship terminal.
