Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Glasgow International Airport (Glasgow)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views, starting with a spectacular aerial perspective of Mallorca's rugged northern coastline and concluding with the scenic Firth of Clyde and the Scottish Highlands on approach into Glasgow.
Serra de Tramuntana
Immediately after takeoff, witness the UNESCO-listed mountain range lining Mallorca's northwest coast.
Atlantic French Coast
As you traverse France, catch glimpses of the rugged Bay of Biscay and the Brittany peninsula.
English Channel
Cross the busy shipping lanes of the Channel, often entering UK airspace near the Isle of Wight.
Welsh Marches
View the green rolling hills of the border between England and Wales as you head north.
Firth of Clyde
On final descent, enjoy views of the Isle of Arran and the deep sea lochs of the Scottish west coast.
Book an 'A' seat for the best views. For morning flights, this side faces west, avoiding direct sun glare. During the descent into Glasgow, look out for the iconic 'Tail of the Bank' near Greenock.
The Pyrenees
Look southeast as you leave Spain to see the distant, snow-capped peaks separating the peninsula from France.
Massif Central
Fly over the ancient volcanic landscapes and deep river gorges of central France.
London & Midlands
Depending on the specific airway, you may spot the sprawl of London or the industrial heart of England.
The Lake District
A major highlight featuring the glinting waters of Windermere and the high fells of Cumbria.
Loch Lomond
If the flight approaches Glasgow from the north, this side provides views of the 'Bonnie Banks' and the Trossachs.
Seats 'F' are ideal for spotting English landmarks. In the late afternoon, the lighting on the Lake District fells is particularly beautiful. Keep a map app open to identify the various lakes as you pass over Northern England.
