PMINUE

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular panoramic views of the French Riviera, the heart of the Swiss Alps, and a full view of Lake Constance during the descent into Germany.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Mallorca Coastline

Aerial views of the Platja de Palma and the turquoise waters of the southern bays of Mallorca.

🛥️

French Riviera

The glitzy coastline of the Cote d'Azur, including glimpses of Nice and Monaco depending on the flight path.

❄️

Central Swiss Alps

Direct, stunning views of high-altitude peaks like the Matterhorn, Eiger, and Jungfrau as you cross Switzerland.

💧

Lake Constance (Bodensee)

The massive lake that borders Switzerland, Austria, and Germany is a major landmark about 20 minutes before landing.

🌲

Bavarian Countryside

Rolling green hills and the traditional red-roofed villages of the Franconian Jura region.

The right side is superior for Alpine scenery. In the morning, the light is perfect for photographing the snow-capped Swiss peaks. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the best mountain panoramas.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Dramatic views of Mallorca's UNESCO-listed mountain range immediately after takeoff from Palma.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

Deep blue Mediterranean waters as the aircraft crosses from the Balearic Islands towards mainland Europe.

🏔️

Western Alps

Distant but impressive sightings of the Mont Blanc massif on the horizon while flying over eastern France.

🍇

Rhone Valley

The winding Rhone river and the patchwork of vineyards through the Provence and Lyon regions.

🏰

Nuremberg Old Town

Depending on the wind direction, a chance to spot the Imperial Castle (Kaiserburg) during the final descent.

Sit on the left if you want the best view of the Tramuntana mountains during the climb. On late afternoon flights, the left side is the 'shade side,' providing better visibility without the sun glare reflecting off the wing or clouds.
