Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the high Alps, specifically Mont Blanc, and better coastline views during the approach into Palma.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌲

Black Forest

Immediately after takeoff, enjoy views of the dense, rolling hills of the Schwarzwald.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in Western Europe is often visible in its full glory when flying over the French-Swiss border.

💧

Lake Geneva

The distinct crescent shape of Lac Léman and the city of Geneva are frequent highlights.

🌿

Rhône Delta

View the unique wetlands of the Camargue and the industrial beauty of the Marseille coastline.

🏝️

Mallorca West Coast

Exceptional views of the cliffs of Sa Calobra and the western bays as the plane maneuvers for landing.

A late afternoon flight is ideal to see the sunset reflecting off the Alps and Lake Geneva. During the descent, the right side usually provides a better view of the island's coastline and the Bay of Palma before touchdown.

🏔️

Bernese Oberland

Glimpse the iconic peaks of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau in the distance as you cross the Swiss border.

Lake Constance

Early views of the large lake where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet.

🏖️

French Riviera

Bird's-eye view of the glamorous coastline near Nice and the French Alps spilling into the sea.
