Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Maastricht Aachen Airport (Maastricht)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, featuring the stunning coastline of Mallorca upon departure, followed by distant but clear views of the French Alps and the Jura Mountains during the cruise phase.
Palma Cathedral
A magnificent view of the 'La Seu' cathedral and the Bay of Palma during the initial ascent.
French Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Alps, including Mont Blanc, are visible on the eastern horizon.
Lyon & Rhône River
The confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers and the urban sprawl of France's third-largest city.
Vosges Mountains
The rounded peaks of the Vosges range appearing as the flight nears the German/French border region.
Luxembourg City
The deep gorges and historic fortifications of Luxembourg City visible just before entering Dutch airspace.
South Limburg Hills
The distinctively hilly and lush landscape of the southern Netherlands during the final approach to MST.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the Alps illuminated by the sun. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the best mountain vistas. For the landing at MST, this side often provides a better view of the charming Limburg landscape.
Serra de Tramuntana
Aerial view of the rugged UNESCO World Heritage mountain range lining Mallorca's northwest coast shortly after takeoff.
Gulf of Lion
The transition from the Mediterranean Sea to the French coastline, often passing near Montpellier.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateaus and rolling green hills of central France are visible to the west.
Burgundy Vineyards
Geometric patterns of world-famous vineyards as the flight tracks north toward Dijon.
Ardennes Forest
Dense, hilly forest canopy stretching across the Belgian and Luxembourgish borders during the descent.
Sit on the left for a direct view of the Tramuntana mountains during the initial climb. This side is best for late afternoon flights to enjoy the warm glow of the setting sun over the French countryside without direct glare.
