Which side of the plane to sit from Paris-Orly Airport (Paris) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Auvergne volcanoes in central France and the UNESCO-listed Serra de Tramuntana mountains during the descent into Mallorca.
Chaîne des Puys
The striking chain of dormant volcanic domes in the Massif Central, including the famous Puy de Dôme peak.
Central Pyrenees
Rugged, high-altitude views of the snow-capped mountain range dividing France and Spain during the mid-flight transition.
Serra de Tramuntana
Spectacular views of the rugged limestone mountain range that runs along the northwest coast of Mallorca.
Palma & La Seu Cathedral
An iconic view of Palma's historic center and its massive Gothic cathedral during the final approach to runway 06.
Sit in the front half of the cabin to ensure the wing doesn't block your view of the mountains. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography as the sun illuminates the Tramuntana cliffs and the city of Palma during landing.
Parisian Outskirts
Aerial views of the southern Parisian suburbs and the winding Seine river immediately after takeoff from Orly.
Occitanie Coastline
Panoramic views of the Mediterranean lagoons, salt pans, and the coastal city of Montpellier.
Golfe du Lion
The transition from the French mainland to the deep blue Mediterranean Sea near the border with Spain.
Northern Mallorca Bays
Stunning turquoise waters of the Bay of Alcúdia and Bay of Pollença as the aircraft crosses the northern coastline.
Choose a morning flight to avoid direct glare from the sun, which will be on the opposite side of the aircraft. This side is particularly scenic if the flight path takes a more easterly route over the French Riviera or near the Alps, which may be visible on the far horizon.
