PMI β HHN
Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the snow-capped French Alps and the dramatic descent over the castle-dotted Rhine Valley.
Serra de Tramuntana
The UNESCO-listed mountain range of Mallorca's northern coast shortly after takeoff.
The High Alps
Distant but breathtaking views of the snow-covered French and Swiss Alps, often including Mont Blanc.
Lake Geneva
The distinctive crescent shape of the lake visible through the clouds over the French-Swiss border.
The Black Forest
The dark, undulating canopy of the Schwarzwald as the flight path crosses into Germany.
Upper Middle Rhine
The UNESCO-protected gorge featuring steep vineyards and numerous medieval hilltop castles.
Morning flights are best on this side to avoid sun glare and capture crisp photos of the Alps. The highlight is the descent; if the approach path passes the Rhine, you can see historic castles like Pfalzgrafenstein. Ensure your window is clean for high-altitude shots of the Swiss border lakes.
Palma de Mallorca
Bird's-eye view of the historic center and the iconic Santa Maria Cathedral during initial climb.
Golfe du Lion
The sweeping coastline of southern France where the Mediterranean meets the mainland.
Massif Central
Ancient volcanic plateaus and rugged green landscapes of central France.
Moselle Valley
Intricate patterns of terraced vineyards and the winding loops of the Moselle River near Trier.
HunsrΓΌck Forest
Dense, dark green woodland covering the rolling hills during the final approach to Hahn.
Sit on the left for sunset flights to witness the glow over the French interior. During departure from PMI, look down immediately to catch the harbor. Keep your camera ready for the tight horseshoe bends of the Moselle River as the plane descends into the German border region.
