Our Recommendation
8.4

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

A stunning UNESCO World Heritage mountain range that runs along the northwest coast of Mallorca.

πŸ—»

The Pyrenees

Snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between Spain and France, visible to the northeast.

πŸ‡

French Atlantic Coast

The sprawling vineyards of the Bordeaux region and the sandy beaches of the VendΓ©e coastline.

βš“

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.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

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.

πŸ”οΈ

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.
