Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, featuring the majestic expanse of Lake Constance, the highest peaks of the Swiss Alps including potential views of the Mont Blanc massif, and a stunning approach over the UNESCO-listed Serra de Tramuntana mountains upon arrival in Mallorca.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
💧

Lake Constance (Bodensee)

A massive view of the 'Swabian Sea' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, usually visible about 20 minutes after takeoff.

🏔️

Bernese Oberland Peaks

Spectacular sightings of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, and often the distant snow-capped peak of Mont Blanc.

🏞️

Rhône River Valley

Follow the winding path of the Rhône River as it flows through the heart of Provence toward the sea.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

The dramatic limestone mountain range of Mallorca's west coast provides a stunning backdrop during the final approach.

🏙️

Palma Cathedral (La Seu)

If the flight lands from the west, you will get a perfect view of the iconic Gothic cathedral and the harbor just before touchdown.

Sit on the right for the most iconic Alpine views. During the summer, afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for photographing the Mallorca coastline. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the dramatic mountain-to-ocean transition.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌲

Franconian Lake District

Shortly after takeoff from NUE, view the scenic artificial lakes of Brombachsee and Altmühlsee in southern Germany.

🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

Aerial perspectives of the rugged Glarus and Lepontine Alps as the flight crosses into southern Europe.

⚓

Marseille Coastline

As the plane leaves mainland France, enjoy views of the bustling port of Marseille and the rocky Calanques.

🏝️

Bay of Alcúdia

Clear views of the turquoise waters and long sandy beaches of northern Mallorca during the initial descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the sunrise over the European continent. It is also the better side for spotting the Italian coastline in the far distance while crossing the Mediterranean.
