Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains upon departure, followed by distant views of the French and Swiss Alps, Lake Geneva, and the industrial beauty of the Rhine river valley.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Unrivaled views of Mallorca's UNESCO World Heritage mountain range as the plane heads north.

🏔️

The High Alps

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

💧

Lake Geneva

The distinct crescent shape of Lac Léman on the border between France and Switzerland.

🌲

Black Forest

The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald region as the flight enters German airspace.

🚢

The Rhine River

Watching the major shipping artery of Europe snake through the landscape near Cologne and Düsseldorf.

The right side is the clear winner for scenic variety. Sit here during morning flights to see the sunrise illuminate the Alps. During the initial climb, look down to see the hidden coves of northern Mallorca. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for the best mountain panoramas.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏖️

Bay of Palma

Sweeping views of the Palma Cathedral and the harbor immediately after takeoff from PMI.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

The transition from the deep blue Mediterranean to the rugged coast of southern France near Montpellier.

⛰️

Massif Central

The rolling volcanic hills and ancient plateaus of central France visible during the mid-flight cruise.

🏰

Loire Valley

Aerial views of the winding river and the historic châteaux dotting the lush greenery of central-northern France.

🏙️

Münsterland

The patchwork of fields and historic farmsteads of North Rhine-Westphalia during the final descent.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides the best view of the Palma city center and the iconic cathedral during the initial climb if the wind is blowing from the north.
