PMILEJ

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panorama of the UNESCO-listed Tramuntana mountain range on departure, followed by spectacular views of the High Alps and the iconic crescent of Lake Geneva.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Dramatic views of Mallorca's rugged northern mountain range immediately after takeoff from PMI.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

The deep blue waters of the Mediterranean as the flight transitions from sea to the French coastline.

🏔️

Western Alps

A front-row seat to the snow-capped peaks of the French and Swiss Alps, often including distant views of Mont Blanc.

💧

Lake Geneva

The distinct crescent shape of Lac Léman and the city of Geneva visible from high altitude.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

Dense, dark green forest cover stretching across the hills of Central Germany during the descent.

🏙️

Leipzig City Center

The Monument to the Battle of the Nations and the Red Bull Arena are often visible during the final approach.

Book an 'A' window seat for the best mountain vistas. On morning flights, this side is shaded, providing perfect lighting for photography without cabin reflections. Keep your camera ready in the first 10 minutes for the Mallorcan coastline and around 45-60 minutes into the flight for the Alpine peaks.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏖️

Alcudia Bay

Views of the turquoise waters and white sandy beaches of northern Mallorca and the Formentor peninsula.

🇫🇷

French Riviera

A distant perspective of the glitzy Côte d'Azur as the flight heads north toward central Europe.

🏔️

Central Alps

Views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks in the Bernese Oberland of Switzerland.

🏞️

Lake Constance

The vast 'Bodensee' where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria converge.

🏰

Swabian Jura

Rolling limestone plateaus and the occasional glimpse of historic castles in Southern Germany.

🏗️

Leipzig Airport Bridges

The unique sight of aircraft taxiway bridges crossing directly over the A14 motorway during landing.

Choose an 'F' window seat to see the sun reflecting off the Mediterranean Sea. This side is excellent for viewing the 'Neuseenland' (New Lakeland) south of Leipzig—a series of former open-cast mines turned into lakes—which are particularly striking in the afternoon sun.
