Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of landscapes, starting with the dramatic cliffs of Mallorca's Tramuntana range, followed by a direct view of the Catalan coast and the unique volcanic terrain of central France.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Unrivaled views of Mallorca's UNESCO-listed mountain range and its rugged limestone cliffs dropping into the sea.

🏖️

Costa Brava Coastline

Vibrant turquoise waters and hidden coves along the northeastern coast of Spain as you cross the Mediterranean.

🌋

Massif Central Volcanoes

A rare view of the Chaîne des Puys, a series of dormant volcanic cones including the famous Puy de Dôme.

🗼

Distant Paris Skyline

On clear days during the descent into Beauvais, you can spot the Eiffel Tower and La Défense on the distant southern horizon.

🌳

Oise Regional Park

Dense green forests and winding rivers typical of the Picardy region just before landing at BVA.

This is the prime side for morning flights as the sun illuminates the mountains and volcanic craters. Look out for the circular craters in central France approximately 45-50 minutes into the flight.

🏙️

Palma City & Cathedral

Bird's-eye view of the iconic La Seu Cathedral and the sprawling Bay of Palma shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Montserrat Massif

The distinctive, serrated peaks of the Montserrat mountain range near Barcelona are visible to the west.

⛰️

High Pyrenees

A spectacular crossing over the snow-capped central peaks of the Pyrenees border between Spain and France.

🏰

Loire Valley Glimpses

As you head north, the patchwork landscape of the Loire region occasionally reveals historic estates.

Sit on this side for evening flights to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun. Keep your camera ready in the first 5 minutes to capture the architectural scale of Palma's historic center.
