Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama, featuring the rugged Serra de Tramuntana during departure and the spectacular snow-capped French Alps in the distance while cruising over France.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Mallorca's dramatic UNESCO World Heritage mountain range immediately after departure.

🏔️

The French Alps

Distal but majestic views of the snow-capped Alpine peaks, often including Mont Blanc on clear days.

🍷

Burgundy Region

The intricate geometric patterns of world-famous French vineyards.

💧

The Rhine River

The winding industrial artery of Europe as the flight nears the German-Dutch border.

🚜

Groninger Ommeland

The iconic, colorful patchwork of northern Dutch farmland during the final approach.

Morning flights offer the best lighting on the Alps to the east. The right side is particularly scenic during the initial climb out of Palma, providing a full view of the island's northern coastline. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alpine horizon.

🏙️

Palma Bay

Aerial view of Palma city and the cathedral shortly after takeoff from PMI.

🌋

Massif Central

The ancient, rolling volcanic plateaus of central France.

🏰

Luxembourg City

🌊

IJsselmeer

The vast Dutch inland sea and the impressive reclamation polders during the descent.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Mediterranean coastline when departing Mallorca. On evening flights, this side will catch the soft glow of the sunset over the French countryside. Keep an eye out for the distinctive IJsselmeer dike system as you approach the Netherlands.
