Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the most dramatic landmarks, including the high peaks of the Swiss Alps, the Rhone Delta, and the iconic final approach over the Tramuntana mountains and Palma city center.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏰

Potsdam Palaces

See the historic Sanssouci Park and the surrounding Havel lakes shortly after departure.

⛵

Lake Constance

Pass over the massive Bodensee, where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

On clear days, spot the highest peak in the Alps and the surrounding glaciers of the French-Swiss border.

🌿

Rhone Delta

Look for the distinctive salt pans and wetlands of the Camargue region before heading over the Mediterranean.

⛰️

Serra de Tramuntana

Witness the rugged limestone cliffs of Mallorca's northern coast during the initial descent.

⛪

Palma Cathedral

Get a stunning view of the Gothic 'La Seu' cathedral and the harbor during the final turn into PMI airport.

The right side is essential for the 'money shot' of Palma Cathedral. Most arrivals come from the north and loop around the bay; sitting on the right ensures you see the city and the mountains. Use a polarized filter for photos to cut through the haze over the Alps and the Mediterranean.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Berlin Skyline

Catch views of the TV Tower and the urban sprawl of the German capital immediately after takeoff.

🏞️

Spree Forest

Observe the unique biosphere reserve and its labyrinthine river channels south of Berlin.

🏔️

Eastern Alps

Glance out at the jagged limestone peaks of the Austrian and Italian Alps as you cross into Southern Europe.

🏖️

French Riviera

View the glamorous coastline stretching from Monaco toward Saint-Tropez as the plane exits the continent.

🌊

Mediterranean Horizon

Enjoy the vast expanse of deep blue water as you traverse the sea toward the Balearic Islands.

For morning flights, the left side offers softer light and better photography conditions for the French coastline. During arrival, the left side often looks out toward the open sea or the eastern beaches of Mallorca depending on the wind direction.
