Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the high Alps, including potential views of Mont Blanc, and provides a spectacular vantage point for Mallorca's rugged Tramuntana mountain range during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌲

Black Forest

The dense, dark green canopy of the Schwarzwald region in southwestern Germany.

🏔️

The High Alps

Breathtaking views of the highest European peaks, often including the majestic Mont Blanc massif.

🍷

Rhone Valley

The winding Rhone River surrounded by the world-famous vineyards of southern France.

🦩

Camargue Wetlands

The unique salt pans and delta marshes where the Rhone meets the Mediterranean Sea.

⛰️

Tramuntana Range

A dramatic close-up of Mallorca's UNESCO-listed limestone mountains during the descent into Palma.

Sit here for the most dramatic scenery. The Alpine crossing usually occurs 60-75 minutes after takeoff. During the descent, if the plane approaches from the North (Runway 24), you will have an incredible view of the island's west coast cliffs.

Left Side Highlights

🏙️

Berlin Outskirts

Aerial views of the Brandenburg landscape and the Spree river systems shortly after departure.

💧

Lake Constance

The massive 'Bodensee' marking the border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

🏔️

Central Alps

Glacial peaks and high-altitude valleys of the Swiss and Austrian border regions.

🌊

French Riviera

The deep blue Mediterranean meeting the coastline near Marseille and the Gulf of Lion.

🏝️

Mallorca North Bays

Stunning views of the turquoise waters in the Bay of Alcúdia and the Bay of Pollença.

Choose this side for softer morning light during early flights to avoid harsh glare. It offers the best views of the Mediterranean coastline before the final descent. In winter, look for the contrast between the snowy Alps and the blue sea.
