Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While the left side offers the best views of Palma's historic center upon takeoff, the right side provides a superior and more sustained panorama of the iconic Costa Brava coastline and the Pyrenees mountains during the descent into Girona.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Badia de Palma

Panoramic views of the turquoise bay and the marinas of S'Arenal during the initial departure phase.

🌊

Costa Brava Coastline

Dramatic views of the rugged 'Wild Coast,' featuring hidden turquoise coves, rocky cliffs, and seaside towns like Blanes.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the eastern Pyrenees are visible on the distant northern horizon during descent.

🏘️

Tossa de Mar

The distinctive medieval walled town and its circular towers are often visible as the flight path aligns for Girona.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun glare over the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready as you approach the coastline; the transition from deep blue sea to the craggy cliffs of Girona province is the highlight of the trip.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏰

Palma Cathedral (La Seu)

A stunning view of the massive Gothic cathedral and the historic city center immediately after takeoff from Runway 24R.

🏔️

Serra de Tramuntana

Mallorca's UNESCO-listed mountain range, visible as the plane turns north toward the mainland.

🌳

Montseny Natural Park

Lush green massifs and deep valleys of the pre-Pyrenean mountain range visible as the flight enters Catalan airspace.

Request a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Palma Cathedral during the initial climb. For morning flights, the lighting on the Tramuntana mountains is particularly dramatic.
