PMIBRU

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Mediterranean coastline upon departure and spectacular distant views of the French Alps and the Rhône Valley during the cruise phase.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Badia d'Alcúdia

Aerial perspective of the turquoise bays and white sandy beaches of northern Mallorca.

🚢

Marseille Coastline

Views of the busy port of Marseille and the stunning white limestone Calanques cliffs.

🏔️

French Alps

On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Alps, including Mont Blanc, are visible to the east.

🍷

Burgundy Vineyards

Fly over the world-renowned 'Côte d'Or' wine region near Dijon and the Saône River.

🏙️

Brussels Approach

As the plane banks for landing at BRU, look for the Atomium and the Brussels city skyline.

Choose the right side for the highest scenic potential. This side avoids direct afternoon sun, making it easier to take photos of the distant Alps. During winter months, the snow coverage on the Alps is particularly striking from this altitude. Look out for the Rhône River snaking through the valley about 40 minutes into the flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Dramatic views of Mallorca's rugged northern mountain range shortly after takeoff from PMI.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

Crossing the Mediterranean with views of the French coastline near Montpellier and Perpignan.

🌋

Massif Central

The ancient volcanic peaks and plateaus of central France provide a textured landscape below.

🏰

Loire Valley

Distant views of the winding Loire River and the fertile plains of central-northern France.

🌾

Picardy Plains

The vast, geometric agricultural fields of northern France as you approach the Belgian border.

Sit on the left for the best views of Mallorca's mountainous spine during the initial climb. If flying in the afternoon, the sun will be on the left side of the aircraft for the majority of the flight, which may cause glare; close your window shade periodically to manage cabin temperature.
