Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Geneva Cointrin International Airport (Geneva)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the French Alps, the majestic Mont Blanc, and a stunning aerial view of Lake Geneva and the Jet d'Eau upon landing.
Palma Bay
An excellent view of Palma's Gothic cathedral and the bustling marina during the initial climb.
Côte d'Azur
Glance east to see the shimmering coastline of the French Riviera in the distance as you cross the coast.
The High Alps
Spectacular vistas of the snow-capped Ecrins and Savoy Alps as the flight progresses north.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps is often visible on the horizon to the east during the descent phase.
Lake Geneva
The iconic crescent lake and the famous Jet d'Eau fountain are clearly visible on the standard approach into GVA.
Request a window seat on the right for the iconic Geneva arrival. For the best photography of the Alps, choose an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the peaks from the west. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Savoy region, as Mont Blanc is the major highlight.
Serra de Tramuntana
The rugged UNESCO World Heritage mountain range along Majorca's northern coastline visible shortly after takeoff.
Gulf of Lion
A wide-angle view of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea during the crossing to mainland Europe.
Camargue Wetlands
The distinct patchwork of salt pans and lagoons where the Rhone River meets the sea near Montpellier.
Vercors Massif
Dramatic limestone cliffs and forested plateaus of the French Prealps visible during the cruise.
Jura Mountains
The long, folded mountain ridges that define the landscape west of Geneva during the final descent.
For the best views of the Tramuntana mountains, look out shortly after departure from Palma. This side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare and is better for seeing the Rhone Valley's geography. During the descent, watch for the city of Annecy and its crystal-clear lake.
