Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the rugged Tramuntana mountains during takeoff, the majestic Pyrenees on the horizon, and the most iconic views of central London during the descent into Luton.
Serra de Tramuntana
Immediately after takeoff, witness the UNESCO-listed limestone peaks lining the northwest coast of Mallorca.
Eastern Pyrenees
As you cross from the Mediterranean into France, look west to see the high snow-capped peaks of the border range.
Massif Central
Aerial views of the rugged, volcanic terrain of south-central France, featuring extinct cinder cones and deep gorges.
Parisian Horizon
Depending on the specific air corridor, the Eiffel Tower and the dense urban grid of Paris are often visible to the west.
English Channel Crossing
Watch the transition from the French coastline near Dieppe to the white chalk cliffs of the Sussex coast.
Central London
On the standard approach to Luton from the south, you often get a sweeping panorama of the Thames, the Shard, and the City.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh afternoon sun glare. This side is particularly spectacular during the final 20 minutes of flight when passing over the M25 toward the London skyline. Keep your camera ready as you cross the French coastline for the best lighting on the water.
Palma Cathedral
A stunning bird's-eye view of 'La Seu' and the historic harbor immediately after lifting off from PMI.
Rhรดne Valley
Views of the winding Rhรดne river and the famous vineyards of southern France.
Distant French Alps
On exceptionally clear days, the high peaks of the Alps can be seen far to the east while cruising over central France.
Strait of Dover
Vast views of the world's busiest shipping lanes and the distant silhouette of the Kentish coast.
East London & Olympic Park
During the descent, you may spot the Stratford area and the sprawling suburbs of North London.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the plane, providing excellent saturated colors for photography of the Mediterranean and the French countryside. It also provides the best views of Palma's city center during the initial climb if departing to the west.
