Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Paderborn Lippstadt Airport (Paderborn)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Balearic coastline during departure and a stunning panorama of the Western Alps and Black Forest during the mid-flight cruise.
Badia d'Alcรบdia
Turquoise waters and long sandy stretches visible as the flight departs Mallorca heading north.
Western Alps
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the French and Swiss Alps, including Mont Blanc, are visible.
Lake Geneva
The iconic crescent-shaped lake located between the Alps and the Jura Mountains.
Black Forest
Dense evergreen forests and rolling highlands of southwestern Germany passing underneath.
Frankfurt Skyline
The 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the busy Frankfurt Airport hub visible during the transition to Northern Germany.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun moves west, illuminating the Alps and the Rhine Valley. To see the Alps, look out approximately 40 minutes after takeoff. This side also offers a better chance of seeing the transition from the mountainous south to the flatter plains of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Serra de Tramuntana
The rugged UNESCO World Heritage mountain range forming the backbone of Mallorca's northwest coast.
Gulf of Lion
A vast expanse of the Mediterranean Sea as the aircraft leaves the Balearic Islands for mainland Europe.
Camargue Delta
The unique salt marshes and wetlands of southern France where the Rhรดne River meets the sea.
Massif Central
Aerial views of France's ancient volcanic region, characterized by rounded 'puys' and deep valleys.
Middle Rhine
The UNESCO-listed gorge featuring steep vineyards and numerous medieval castles near the descent phase.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep a lookout for the historic city of Montpellier as you cross the French coastline. During the final approach into Paderborn, the left side often provides a better view of the agricultural landscapes of the Westphalian Lowland.
