Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Rostock-Laage Airport (Laage)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a spectacular departure over the Serra de Tramuntana mountains and prime views of the French coastline and the highest peaks of the Western Alps.
Serra de Tramuntana
Dramatic views of Mallorca's rugged UNESCO World Heritage mountain range immediately after takeoff from Palma.
Gulf of Lion
Crossing the Mediterranean from the Balearics toward the French coast near Montpellier and the Rhone Delta.
Western Alps & Mont Blanc
Panoramic views of the snow-capped French and Swiss Alps, often including a distant look at Europe's highest peak.
Burgundy Region
Flying over the rolling hills and famous vineyards of eastern France as the route heads toward the German border.
Rhine Valley
Aerial perspectives of the historic Rhine River and the industrial heartland of western Germany.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring dense forests and the prominent Brocken peak.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic departure scenery. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you or to the right, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Alps. Look out early for the stark contrast between the turquoise Balearic waters and the grey limestone of the Tramuntana range.
Alcudia Bay
A beautiful view of the northern coast of Mallorca and the Formentor peninsula as the plane leaves the island.
Lake Constance (Bodensee)
The massive lake where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, visible if the flight path tracks slightly east.
Frankfurt Skyline
The 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers are often visible in the distance when passing through central German airspace.
Thuringian Forest
A vast green belt in central Germany known for its hiking trails and the historic Wartburg Castle.
Warnemรผnde & Baltic Coast
As you descend into Rostock-Laage, look for the white sandy beaches and the busy shipping lanes of the Baltic Sea.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the western sun. Keep an eye out during the final 20 minutes of the flight; as you approach Rostock-Laage from the south, you can often see the sprawling German lakes of the Mecklenburg Lake District.
