Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Rotterdam The Hague Airport (Rotterdam)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views, the Right Side (Starboard) provides a superior perspective of the Mediterranean departure, distant views of the Alps, and a more direct look at the architectural skyline of Rotterdam during the final approach.

Palma Cathedral
A stunning look back at the 'La Seu' cathedral and the Bay of Palma during the initial climb.
The French Alps
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Alps are visible to the east while cruising over France.
Brussels
A high-altitude view of the Belgian capital and its dense urban center.
Rotterdam Skyline
Iconic views of the Erasmus Bridge, Euromast, and modern skyscrapers as you descend.
Dutch Polders
The intricate geometric patterns of reclaimed land and canals typical of the South Holland landscape.
The right side is ideal for capturing the 'Manhattan on the Maas' skyline during the descent. To see the Alps, look toward the horizon about 45-60 minutes into the flight. If traveling in spring, keep an eye out for the vibrant colors of the flower fields near the Dutch coast during the final minutes of flight.

Morning flights provide excellent lighting on this side without harsh glare.
