Which side of the plane to sit from Rotterdam The Hague Airport (Rotterdam) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Dutch coastline upon departure, the rugged volcanic landscapes of France's Massif Central, and a spectacular approach over the UNESCO-protected Serra de Tramuntana mountains in Mallorca.
Delta Works
The massive storm surge barriers and engineering marvels of the Zeeland province along the Dutch coast.
Massif Central
The dramatic volcanic plateaus and ancient craters of central France during the mid-flight cruise.
Golfe du Lion
The sweeping curve of the French Mediterranean coastline near Montpellier and Perpignan before crossing the sea.
The Pyrenees
Breathtaking views of the eastern edge of the Pyrenees mountain range as the flight leaves mainland Europe.
Serra de Tramuntana
Stunning views of Mallorca's rugged northern mountain range, a UNESCO World Heritage site, during descent.
The right side is highly recommended for the descent into Palma de Mallorca, as it typically provides a front-row seat to the dramatic cliffs of the Tramuntana mountains. Aim for a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the French coastline.
Rotterdam Cityscape
Aerial view of the Erasmus Bridge, the Euromast, and the modern architecture of Rotterdam immediately after takeoff.
Biesbosch National Park
The intricate network of rivers and willow forests in one of the largest national parks in the Netherlands.
Distant French Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the French Alps can be seen on the horizon while cruising over eastern France.
Mediterranean Horizon
The vast turquoise expanse of the Mediterranean Sea as the aircraft begins its descent toward the Balearic Islands.
Bay of Palma
A view of the bustling Port of Palma and the historic Cathedral (La Seu) during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to see the city of Rotterdam during departure. During the final approach to PMI, if the wind is from the south, you might get a direct view of the Palma Cathedral.
