PIK โ PMI
Which side of the plane to sit from Glasgow Prestwick Airport (Prestwick) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more scenic descent into Mallorca, providing stunning views of the Mediterranean coastline and the rugged Tramuntana mountain range as the aircraft turns toward the bay of Palma.
Ayrshire Coastline
Aerial views of the Scottish coast immediately after takeoff from Prestwick.
The Lake District
Distant views of the Cumbrian fells as the flight heads south over England.
French Countryside
Vast stretches of the rural French landscape throughout the mid-flight cruise.
The Pyrenees
Dramatic jagged peaks and snow-capped ridges as you cross from France into Spain.
Costa Brava
The sparkling blue waters and rocky coves of the northeastern Spanish coast.
Palma Cathedral
An iconic view of La Seu cathedral during the final approach over the Bay of Palma.
Sit on the left for the best morning light. During the descent into PMI, the left side typically offers a superior view of the island's coastline and the city of Palma itself. If the aircraft approaches from the east, you will see the turquoise waters of the Balearic Sea and the historic architecture of the city center.
Isle of Man
A clear view of the island situated in the middle of the Irish Sea shortly after departure.
Snowdonia
The rugged mountains of North Wales are often visible to the west of the flight path.
Bay of Biscay
Expansive views of the Atlantic coastline of France as you approach the border.
Ebro Valley
The agricultural heartland of northern Spain, famous for its vineyards and river system.
Western Pyrenees
Excellent views of the western portion of the mountain range near the Basque region.
Mallorca North Coast
Dramatic cliffs and the Port de Sรณller area during the initial stages of descent.
The right side is better for avoiding direct sunlight on afternoon flights, preventing glare on your window. You'll get a great perspective of the Irish Sea and the Western Pyrenees. Note that while scenic, this side often faces away from the main city landmarks during the final touchdown at Palma.
