Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled view of the Marseille coastline, the Frioul archipelago, and the city's historic landmarks during the final descent.
Palma City & Cathedral
A stunning aerial view of the Gothic Santa Maria Cathedral and the bustling harbor of Palma immediately after takeoff.
Menorca Silhouette
On clear days, the neighboring Balearic island of Menorca can be seen shimmering to the east.
Les Calanques
Dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise inlets that characterize the coastline between Cassis and Marseille.
Château d'If & Frioul
The famous island fortress from 'The Count of Monte Cristo' and the white-rock Frioul archipelago.
Marseille City Center
Views of the Stade Vélodrome, the Old Port (Vieux-Port), and the Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde.
The right side is the clear winner for the arrival phase. Most approaches into MRS fly over the sea before turning north, giving passengers a front-row seat to the islands and the city skyline. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography of the limestone cliffs.
Serra de Tramuntana
The rugged UNESCO World Heritage mountain range stretching along Mallorca's northwest coast.
Gulf of Lion
A vast expanse of the Mediterranean Sea as the flight crosses towards the French mainland.
The Camargue
The marshy delta of the Rhône River, famous for its wild white horses, pink flamingos, and salt pans.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. During the descent, look for the distinct landscape of the Camargue wetlands, which look particularly vibrant under the afternoon sun.
