PMI â PIK
Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Glasgow Prestwick Airport (Prestwick)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Tramuntana mountains during departure, the rugged Welsh coast, and the spectacular Isle of Arran on the final approach into Prestwick.
Serra de Tramuntana
Dramatic limestone peaks and steep cliffs of Mallorca's northern coast immediately after takeoff.
Eastern Pyrenees
Snow-capped summits and deep valleys as the flight crosses from Spain into France.
Loire Valley
Aerial views of the winding Loire River and historical French countryside in central France.
Welsh Mountains
Rugged landscapes of the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia as you traverse western Britain.
Isle of Arran
The 'Scotland in Miniature' with its jagged granite peaks, visible during the descent into PIK.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the mountains. On the approach to Prestwick, the view of Arran and the Firth of Clyde is iconic and best viewed from this side. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing.
Barcelona Coastline
A distant view of the Catalan capital and its famous urban grid pattern as you head north.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateaus and craters of south-central France.
Severn Estuary
The massive bridges connecting England and Wales over the muddy tidal waters.
Southern Uplands
The rolling green hills and extensive wind farms of the Scottish borders.
Firth of Clyde
Active shipping lanes and the coastal towns of Ayrshire during the final descent.
Choose the right side if flying during a late afternoon summer flight to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side offers better views of the inland French terrain and the English Midlands/Welsh border area.
