PMI β OST
Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Ostend-Bruges International Airport (Ostend)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the dramatic Serra de Tramuntana mountains immediately after takeoff and distant views of the Alps, finishing with a scenic approach over the medieval city of Bruges.
Serra de Tramuntana
The UNESCO-listed mountain range on Majorca's northwest coast, visible shortly after departure.
RhΓ΄ne Valley
The lush valley leading toward Lyon, one of Europe's premier wine-growing regions.
The Alps
On clear days, the distant but majestic snow-capped peaks of the French and Swiss Alps are visible to the east.
Parisian Basin
Vast, colorful geometric patterns of northern French agriculture and the outskirts of the Paris region.
Historic Bruges
The medieval towers and concentric canals of Bruges are often visible during the descent into Ostend.
For the best view of the Serra de Tramuntana, look out immediately after the initial turn post-takeoff. Morning flights provide excellent illumination of the Alps to the east. During descent, keep your eyes peeled for the distinctive Belfry of Bruges, which is a major landmark for this route.
Mediterranean Crossing
Deep azure waters of the Balearic Sea as the aircraft climbs away from the island.
Camargue Wetlands
The unique salt pans and marshes of southern France near the city of Montpellier.
Massif Central
Rugged terrain and ancient volcanic peaks of central France's highland region.
Loire Valley
Aerial views of the 'Garden of France' and its iconic river winding through historic landscapes.
North Sea Coast
The transition from French farmland to the industrial and natural coastline of the North Sea.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during late afternoon flights and to see the wetlands of southern France. On the final approach into Ostend, you may see the massive port infrastructure of Zeebrugge if the wind requires a northern landing pattern.
