PMI β ORK
Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Cork Airport (Cork)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Serra de Tramuntana mountains upon departure, distant views of the Pyrenees, and the scenic French Atlantic coastline before the final approach over the lush green landscapes of County Cork.
Serra de Tramuntana
A stunning UNESCO World Heritage mountain range that runs along the northwest coast of Mallorca.
The Pyrenees
Snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between Spain and France, visible to the northeast.
French Atlantic Coast
The sprawling vineyards of the Bordeaux region and the sandy beaches of the VendΓ©e coastline.
Brittany Peninsula
The rugged western tip of France, marking the final landmark before the crossing of the Celtic Sea.
County Cork Countryside
The classic '40 shades of green' appear in full glory as the plane descends over the rolling hills of Southern Ireland.
The right side is essential for the best view of Mallorca's mountains immediately after takeoff. For evening flights, this side catches the warm 'golden hour' glow over the French coast. When landing in Cork, the right side typically offers a better view of the city and the harbor if the aircraft lands on Runway 16.
Balearic Sea
Crystal clear turquoise waters surrounding the island of Mallorca as the plane ascends from PMI.
Spanish Interior
Vast stretches of the arid Spanish plains and the rugged terrain of the Aragon and Castile regions.
Picos de Europa
Limestone peaks in Northern Spain, often visible as the flight exits the Spanish mainland toward the Atlantic.
Bay of Biscay
The deep blue expanse of the Atlantic, frequently dotted with cargo ships and fishing vessels.
Old Head of Kinsale
The iconic narrow peninsula of Southern Ireland, often visible just before turning for the final descent into Cork.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during midday flights. Watch for the dramatic shift from the dry, brown tones of Central Spain to the deep blue of the Bay of Biscay. Keep an eye out for Fastnet Rock if the flight path takes a more westerly approach into Cork.
