Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic views of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains upon departure and a superior angle for viewing the high peaks of the Pyrenees and the volcanic parks of central France.
Serra de Tramuntana
The UNESCO-listed mountain range stretching along Mallorca's northwest coast, visible immediately after takeoff.
Costa Brava
Clear views of the rugged Spanish coastline and the Gulf of Roses as the plane enters French airspace.
Central Pyrenees
Spectacular views of the highest peaks in the range, including Aneto and the Maladeta massif.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic landscape of the Auvergne region, featuring the iconic Puy de DΓ΄me crater.
Northern French Farmland
The characteristic geometric patterns of the Picardy and Nord-Pas-de-Calais agricultural plains.
For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so polarized sunglasses are recommended. The Pyrenees crossing usually occurs about 35 to 45 minutes into the flight.
Palma Cathedral
A stunning view of 'La Seu' and the Bay of Palma if the flight departs towards the south before turning.
Barcelona Panorama
Distant views of the Catalan capital and the Mediterranean coastline stretching toward France.
Champagne Region
The rolling hills and prestigious vineyards of the Champagne-Ardenne area during the descent.
Charleroi Industrial Heritage
The fascinating 'Pays Noir' landscape, featuring historic steel mills and the winding Sambre river.
The right side is better for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft. Keep an eye out for the industrial landscape of Charleroi during the final approach, which offers a unique urban photography opportunity.
