Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most dramatic scenery, featuring the rugged Serra de Tramuntana mountain range upon departure and a spectacular side-view of the Eastern Pyrenees and the medieval fortress of Carcassonne during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

A UNESCO World Heritage site consisting of dramatic limestone ridges running along the northwest coast of Mallorca.

🌊

Balearic Sea

Vast blue expanses during the short transit across the Mediterranean towards the French mainland.

🏔️

Eastern Pyrenees

Breath-taking views of the high peaks separating Spain and France, often snow-capped during winter and spring.

🏰

Cité de Carcassonne

The world-famous medieval fortified city is frequently visible on the left side during the approach into Toulouse.

🍇

Aude Valley

Lush vineyard landscapes and the rolling hills of the Occitanie region.

For the best experience, book an afternoon flight; the sun will be behind you or high above, illuminating the Pyrenees and the walls of Carcassonne perfectly. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes before landing to catch the medieval citadel.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏝️

Cap de Formentor

The northernmost tip of Mallorca with its iconic lighthouse and vertical cliffs dropping into the sea.

🦩

Occitanie Lagoons

The shallow, bird-filled coastal lagoons including Étang de Leucate and Étang de Thau near Narbonne.

🏖️

Golfe du Lion

The sweeping arc of the French Mediterranean coastline stretching towards Marseille.

🌲

Montagne Noire

The dark, forested southern slopes of the Massif Central visible to the northeast as the plane turns inland.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. Look for the distinct turquoise waters of the French coastal salt marshes. If the flight path swings wide, you might even spot the distant outlines of the Massif Central mountains.
