PMIKUN

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Serra de Tramuntana upon takeoff and a more direct perspective of the high Swiss and French Alps, including potential views of Mont Blanc depending on the specific airway used.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Dramatic views of Mallorca's rugged northern mountain range shortly after departure from PMI.

🏔️

Western Alps

Breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks of the French and Swiss Alps as the plane crosses into mainland Europe.

🌲

Black Forest

The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald region in southwestern Germany.

🏙️

Berlin Metropolitan Area

On a clear day, the sprawl of the German capital is often visible to the north during the mid-to-late flight segment.

💧

Vistula River

The winding curves of Poland's longest river as the flight path transitions toward the Baltics.

Sit on the left for the best mountain scenery. For the Alps, the best lighting occurs during morning or midday flights. Look out about 40-50 minutes after takeoff for the high peaks. In winter, the snow cover makes the mountain ranges significantly more defined and photogenic.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏖️

Palma Bay

A beautiful aerial view of the city of Palma and its cathedral if taking off to the south/east.

🌊

French Riviera

Distances views of the azure coastline stretching from Marseille toward Nice and Monaco.

💙

Lake Constance

The massive expanse of the Bodensee where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.

🛶

Masurian Lake District

Thousands of small, shimmering lakes scattered across the northeastern Polish landscape.

🔋

Kaunas Reservoir

The large Kauno marios body of water visible during the final descent into KUN airport.

The right side is excellent for coastal views and lake spotting. During late afternoon flights, this side will be away from the direct sun, making it better for glare-free photography. Keep an eye out for the Masurian lakes about 30 minutes before landing.
