PMI â BLK
Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Blackpool International Airport (Blackpool)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the high Pyrenees peaks, the lush Loire Valley chateaus, and a clearer view of the English heartland and the Pennines during the descent.
North Mallorca Coast
Stunning views of the Formentor peninsula and the rugged northern cliffs of the island.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateau of central France featuring rolling hills and deep gorges.
Loire Valley
The Garden of France, known for its historic vineyards and winding river systems.
The Midlands
A patchwork of English countryside and urban centers like Birmingham and Manchester.
The Peak District
Brilliant views of the moorlands and green dales of Northern England shortly before landing.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the French landscape and the English Pennines perfectly. Keep an eye out for the Pyrenees approximately 40 minutes after take-off for the most dramatic geographic transition.
Bay of Palma
Aerial views of the turquoise waters and the Gothic Cathedral of Santa Maria during the initial climb.
Western Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the mountain range dividing Spain and France, often snow-capped in winter.
Bay of Biscay
The deep blue expanse of the Atlantic Ocean visible as you cross the French coastline.
South Wales Coast
Views of the Bristol Channel and the rugged coastline near Cardiff and Swansea.
Blackpool Tower
Iconic landmark of the destination city visible during the final approach over the Irish Sea.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also excellent for spotting the Welsh coastline and the famous Blackpool Tower if the aircraft approaches from the south over the sea.
