PMI โ ALC
Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Alicante International Airport (Alicante)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled view of Mallorca's rugged northern coastline and the dramatic entry into mainland Spain via the Costa Blanca's iconic landmarks.
Serra de Tramuntana
Stunning views of the UNESCO-listed mountain range that forms the backbone of Mallorca immediately after takeoff.
Sa Dragonera
The dragon-shaped uninhabited islet off the westernmost point of Mallorca is clearly visible before crossing the sea.
Peรฑรณn de Ifach
The massive limestone outcrop in Calpe which is one of the most recognizable geographic features of the Spanish coast.
Benidorm Skyline
View the 'Manhattan of Spain' with its dense cluster of skyscrapers and the golden sands of Levante Beach during descent.
Cabo de la Nao
The prominent headland of the Gulf of Valencia where the aircraft typically makes its turn toward the Alicante approach path.
The right side is the clear winner for scenery. Sit here to see the dramatic contrast between the Tramuntana mountains and the sea. On evening flights, the Benidorm skyline is often beautifully illuminated during the descent into ALC.
Palma Harbor
Aerial perspective of the cruise ship terminals and the historic Cathedral of Santa Maria during the initial climb.
Cabrera Archipelago
Distant glimpses of the protected National Park islands located off the southern tip of Mallorca.
Balearic Sea Horizon
Expansive views of the Mediterranean horizon, with the silhouettes of Ibiza and Formentera visible on clear days to the south.
Santa Barbara Castle
A close-up view of the historic fortress perched on Mount Benacantil as the plane aligns with the Alicante runway.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. It provides a better view of the Alicante port area during the final seconds of landing when the wind is blowing from the south.
