Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Leeds Bradford Airport (Leeds)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a spectacular departure over the UNESCO-listed Tramuntana Mountains and superior views of the extinct volcanoes of central France and the English south coast.
Serra de Tramuntana
Dramatic limestone ridges of Mallorca's northern coast immediately after takeoff.
Massif Central
The rugged terrain of central France featuring extinct volcanic peaks like Puy de Dôme.
Loire Valley
Gliding over the 'Garden of France' with views of historic châteaux and the winding Loire river.
Isle of Wight
Aerial perspective of the Needles and the chalk cliffs of the southern English coastline.
The Peak District
Rolling green hills and moorlands as you descend through central England toward Yorkshire.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Tramuntana mountains during departure. On clear days in winter, the snow-capped Pyrenees may be visible in the distance to the west. For evening flights, this side enjoys the sunset over the Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay during the mid-portion of the journey.
Palma de Mallorca
Excellent views of the La Seu Cathedral and the sprawling Bellver Castle upon departure.
Gulf of Lion
The sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean as the flight crosses the French coastline.
Paris Cityscape
Distant views of the Eiffel Tower and the dense urban grid of the French capital.
English Channel
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, often dotted with cargo ships and ferries.
London Skyline
On clear days, the distant skyscrapers of the City and Canary Wharf are visible to the east.
The right side is ideal for catching the morning sun reflecting off the Mediterranean. It offers the best chance to spot the lights of Paris and London on night flights. During the final approach to LBA, you will likely see the urban sprawl of Leeds and the historic industrial architecture of West Yorkshire.
