Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Innsbruck Airport (Innsbruck)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer spectacular alpine views, the right side provides a superior balance of Mediterranean coastal scenery, a better view of the Balearic coastline on departure, and the iconic panorama of the Central Alpine Ridge during the descent into Innsbruck.
Bay of Palma
An incredible bird's-eye view of the Palma Cathedral (La Seu) and the bustling port shortly after departure.
French Riviera
Glittering views of the Côte d'Azur, including the areas near Nice and Monaco, as the plane heads inland.
Lake Constance
The 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, often visible as a shimmering turquoise expanse.
Central Alpine Ridge
The high, glaciated peaks of the Hohe Tauern and the Zillertal Alps as you enter Austrian airspace.
Stubai Alps
The jagged, snow-capped peaks guarding the southern flank of the Inn Valley during the steep descent into Innsbruck.
The right side is the 'money side' for the approach into Innsbruck Airport, which is world-renowned for its mountain views. In the winter, the snow coverage makes the Stubai and Tux Alps look particularly dramatic. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing, as the descent through the narrow Inn Valley is breathtaking.
Serra de Tramuntana
The rugged UNESCO World Heritage mountain range lining Mallorca's northwest coast visible immediately after takeoff.
Gulf of Lion
Vast stretches of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea as the flight crosses from Spain toward the French coast.
Lake Geneva
On a clear day, the distinct crescent shape of Lac Léman and the jet d'eau in Geneva can be spotted to the north.
Bernese Oberland
Dramatic views of the Swiss 'Big Three'—the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks—dominating the horizon.
Karwendel Nature Park
The massive limestone walls of the Karwendel range that loom directly over the city of Innsbruck during the final approach.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon or evening to enjoy the sunset over the Alps without the sun shining directly into your window. Watch for the sharp contrast between the Mediterranean coast and the sudden rise of the French and Swiss Alps about halfway through the flight.
