Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is preferred for spectacular views of the Mediterranean coastline, distant glimpses of the Western Alps, and a prime view of the Hercules monument during the descent into Kassel.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

The rugged UNESCO-listed mountain range forming the spine of northern Mallorca.

🏔️

The Western Alps

On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the French and Swiss Alps are visible on the horizon to the east.

🌲

The Black Forest

Expansive views of the dark, dense woodlands of southwestern Germany during the mid-flight transition.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

The striking skyscrapers of Germany's financial hub appear to the east as you enter central Germany.

⛲

Wilhelmshöhe Park

The Hercules monument and the massive hillside park appearing just before landing at Kassel-Calden.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Mediterranean. During the final approach into Kassel-Calden, the right side usually provides the best view of the iconic Hercules monument and the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Be aware that the Alps are distant, so high visibility is required for the best experience.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
⛪

Palma Cathedral

View the massive La Seu Gothic cathedral and the harbor right after takeoff if departing to the north.

🌋

Massif Central

The ancient volcanic landscape of the Puy-de-Dome region in central France visible as you cross the continent.

🍷

Rhone Valley

Lush vineyards and the winding Rhone river as you head north through eastern France.

🏙️

Mainz and Wiesbaden

The twin cities at the confluence of the Rhine and Main rivers visible before the final descent.

Sit on the left for sunset views on late afternoon flights. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from PMI to capture the urban landscape of Palma. Use a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the French volcanoes.
