Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateaus and deep gorges of south-central France.
The Pyrenees
Dramatic snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between France and Spain as you head south.
Serra de Tramuntana
Mallorca's stunning UNESCO-listed mountain range, visible in detail during the initial descent.
Palma Cathedral
The massive Gothic 'La Seu' cathedral stands out against the city skyline just before touchdown.
Bay of Palma
Turquoise waters, luxury yachts, and the sweeping curve of the island's capital harbor.
The right side is essential for the 'money shot' of Palma de Mallorca. For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of or well behind the wing. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Tramuntana mountains, as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the limestone cliffs and the city below.
Book Hotels in Palma de MallorcaVosges Mountains
Dense forests and rolling peaks of eastern France visible shortly after departure from Saarbrücken.
Rhône Valley
The winding Rhône river and the world-renowned vineyards of the Southern French countryside.
Camargue Wetlands
Unique salt pans, marshes, and lagoons where the Rhône meets the Mediterranean Sea.
Costa Brava Coastline
Rugged cliffs and hidden coves of the Spanish coast visible in the distance during the sea crossing.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides excellent views of the French river systems and the expansive Mediterranean horizon. During the descent, you may catch a glimpse of Menorca to the far east if the air is exceptionally clear.
