Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Bristol Airport (Bristol)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the rugged Tramuntana mountains on departure, the highest peaks of the Pyrenees, and the scenic approach over the Mendip Hills and the city of Bath.

Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and its famous collection of historic French chateaus.
Bath & Mendips
On the final approach to Bristol, view the Roman city of Bath and the rolling Mendip Hills.
Sit on the right side for morning flights to have the best lighting on the Pyrenees and French countryside. On the descent into Bristol, this side often provides a spectacular view of the Cheddar Gorge and the Bristol city skyline depending on the wind direction.

Expansive views of the turquoise waters surrounding Mallorca shortly after takeoff.
Barcelona & Costa Brava
