Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Newcastle Airport (Newcastle)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of iconic landmarks, including potential views of the London skyline and the famous historic monuments of North East England during the final approach.
Costa Brava
Stunning views of the northeastern Spanish coastline and the Mediterranean Sea shortly after departure.
Loire Valley
Look for the winding rivers and historic chateaux as you fly over the heart of central France.
London Skyline
On clear days, the aircraft often passes east of London, offering views of the Thames, The Shard, and Canary Wharf.
The Wash
The unique, square-shaped estuary between East Anglia and Lincolnshire is a prominent geographic landmark.
Durham Cathedral
An unbeatable aerial view of the historic Norman cathedral and castle as you approach NCL from the south.
Angel of the North
Spot Antony Gormley's iconic sculpture standing guard over the A1 near Gateshead just minutes before landing.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid glare. It is the designated side for the 'arrival show' into Newcastle, including the Angel of the North and Durham. If the plane loops over the North Sea for a runway 25 landing, you will see the Tynemouth coastline.
Serra de Tramuntana
Breathtaking views of Mallorca's rugged UNESCO World Heritage mountain range immediately after takeoff from Palma.
The Pyrenees
Distant but impressive views of the snow-capped border mountains between Spain and France.
Isle of Wight
Clear views of the Needles and the Solent as the flight enters UK airspace over the south coast.
The Pennines
Dramatic moorland scenery of England's 'backbone' as the aircraft tracks north toward Newcastle.
Tyne Valley
Lush green landscapes and the winding River Tyne visible during the final descent from the west.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Balearic coastline during departure. For afternoon flights, this side will experience direct sunlight over France, so keep your window blind handy until the descent into the UK.
