Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic scenery, featuring a direct crossing of the Pyrenees mountains and stunning views of the Spanish coastline and the Bay of Palma upon arrival.
Loire Valley
Fly over the heart of France, often spotting the winding Loire River and historic chรขteaux.
The Pyrenees
The flight's highlight, offering jagged, often snow-capped peaks as you transition from France into Spain.
Catalonian Coast
Views of the Mediterranean shoreline near Barcelona and the Costa Dorada as the plane heads over water.
Palma Cathedral
During the standard approach to Runway 06L, the right side provides an iconic view of the 'La Seu' cathedral and the harbor.
Choose the right side for afternoon or sunset flights to witness the Pyrenees illuminated by golden light. On the final approach into Palma, the right side is superior for seeing the city center, the historic cathedral, and the luxury yachts in the bay.
Greater London & Essex
Excellent views of the Thames Estuary and the eastern sprawl of London immediately after takeoff.
The English Channel
Look down at one of the world's busiest shipping lanes between the White Cliffs and the French coast.
Eastern France
Clear views of the French countryside and the distant outskirts of Paris depending on the airway.
Tramuntana Mountains
A spectacular view of Mallorca's rugged northern mountain range during the initial descent.
Sit on the left side for morning flights to avoid the harshest direct sunlight. It provides a great perspective of the northern Mallorcan coastline and the mountainous terrain of the island's interior during the final approach phase.
