Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unrivaled panorama of the highest Alpine peaks and a dramatic descent over the UNESCO-listed Tramuntana mountains on Mallorca.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
πŸ”οΈ

Hohe Tauern

Immediate views of Austria's highest peaks, including the Grossglockner massif.

πŸ—»

Swiss Massif

Glaciated peaks and the high Alps of Switzerland as you track southwest toward France.

πŸ™οΈ

French Riviera

Views of the rugged coastline near Nice, Marseille, and the RhΓ΄ne Delta.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Mallorca's spectacular northern mountain range visible during the initial descent phase.

The right side is essential for high-altitude Alpine photography. Try to book a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. During the final 20 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the rugged Mallorcan cliffs and the sea. Seasonal snow cover in the Alps (October to May) makes the first half of this flight particularly stunning.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ”οΈ

The Dolomites

Dramatic limestone formations and jagged peaks of the Italian Alps shortly after takeoff.

πŸ’§

Lake Garda

The deep blue expanse of Italy's largest lake as the flight crosses the Po Valley.

🏝️

Corsica & Sardinia

Distant silhouettes of the Mediterranean islands visible across the turquoise sea.

🏰

Palma Cathedral

If the aircraft approaches PMI from the south, the iconic Gothic cathedral is visible right before landing.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side is also superior for spotting the Italian lakes and the Balearic coastline if the flight path tracks further east. Watch for the glistening Mediterranean transition after clearing the French/Italian border.
