Which side of the plane to sit from Moss Airport, Rygge (Rygge) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including the dramatic departure over the Oslofjord, a traverse of the Pyrenees, and a spectacular approach over the UNESCO-listed Tramuntana mountains in Mallorca.
Oslofjord Departure
Unrivaled views of the intricate Norwegian coastline and the various islands scattered throughout the fjord immediately after takeoff.
Danish Jutland
A clear view of the Danish peninsula, including the Wadden Sea and the distinctive sandy western coastline.
Parisian Basin
As the flight crosses France, you can often spot the outskirts of the Paris region and the winding Seine River.
The Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing of the high mountain border between France and Spain, featuring jagged peaks and glacial valleys.
Barcelona & Montserrat
Aerial views of the Catalan capital and the unique multi-peaked mountain range of Montserrat to the west.
Serra de Tramuntana
The dramatic limestone mountain range of Mallorca's west coast, providing a majestic backdrop for the final landing approach.
The right side is essential for the Pyrenees crossing. During the summer, afternoon flights might experience sun glare on this side, so bring sunglasses. For the best views of the Tramuntana mountains during landing, ensure you are seated near a window not obstructed by the wing.
Swedish Archipelago
Stunning aerial views of the Bohuslän islands and the rugged coastline of western Sweden shortly after takeoff.
Hamburg & Northern Germany
Vibrant cityscapes and the sprawling Elbe River as the flight path cuts south across the German lowlands.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Swiss and French Alps are visible on the far eastern horizon during the mid-flight cruise.
Gulf of Lion
The deep blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea become visible as the aircraft departs the French coastline near Montpellier.
Badia d'Alcúdia
Turquoise waters and long sandy beaches of northern Mallorca visible during the initial descent phase.
Sit on the left for softer morning light when flying south, which avoids direct sun glare. This side is particularly rewarding during the final approach into PMI if the aircraft enters from the northeast, offering views of the island's many hidden calas.
