Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers the most dramatic views of the Pyrenees mountain range and an unbeatable perspective of the Serra de Tramuntana and Palma city during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🇩🇰

Jutland Peninsula

Expansive views of the Danish west coast and the Wadden Sea transition.

🇫🇷

Massif Central

The rugged, volcanic plateau of south-central France provides varied terrain textures.

⛰️

The Pyrenees

A spectacular crossing of the high mountain border between France and Spain with jagged peaks.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Mallorca's UNESCO-listed mountain range appearing as you approach the island from the north.

🏰

Palma Cathedral

A stunning view of the 'La Seu' Cathedral and the city harbor during the final turn into PMI.

The right side is essential for the iconic 'Palma Approach.' If the plane lands from the west (Runway 06L/R), you will see the entire Bay of Palma. Avoid midday flights if possible to minimize sun glare directly into your window while over France and Spain. The crossing of the Pyrenees occurs roughly 30-40 minutes before landing.

🇳🇴

Oslofjord

Aerial views of the forested islands and coastal towns south of Oslo immediately after takeoff.

🇩🇪

Northern German Lowlands

The winding Elbe River and the flat, green landscapes of Lower Saxony.

🏔️

Distant Alpine Range

On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and French Alps are visible on the far eastern horizon.

🌊

Golfe du Lion

Crossing the French coastline near Montpellier into the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.

🏝️

Menorca Silhouette

Possible views of Mallorca's sister island, Menorca, to the east during the descent.

Opt for an early morning departure to see the sun rising over the Baltic and North Sea coasts. Sit mid-cabin or forward to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the distant Alpine silhouette. Keep an eye out for the French coastline around 2.5 hours into the flight.
