Which side of the plane to sit from Vienna International Airport (Vienna) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the high Alpine peaks, including potential sightings of Mont Blanc, and provides a spectacular perspective of Mallorca's rugged Tramuntana mountain range during the final approach.
Vienna Cityscape
The historic center of Vienna and the Prater park are often visible if the wind dictates a northern departure.
Swiss Alpine Giants
Views of the highest peaks in Europe, including the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau massifs.
Mont Blanc
The snow-capped summit of Europe's highest mountain is often visible on the horizon over France.
Camargue Delta
The unique salt pans and wetlands of the Rhône delta near Marseille.
Serra de Tramuntana
Dramatic limestone mountains of Northern Mallorca, a UNESCO World Heritage site, during descent.
The right side is the 'mountain side.' For the best Alpine photography, a morning flight ensures the sun illuminates the north-facing slopes. During the approach to Palma (PMI), this side usually provides the most dramatic views of the island's coastline and the rugged Tramuntana mountains. Choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion.
Vienna Basin
Aerial views of the Danube River and the southern outskirts of Vienna shortly after takeoff.
The Dolomites
Distant views of the jagged Italian Dolomites to the south while cruising over the Alps.
French Riviera
The glittering coastline of the Côte d'Azur, including Nice and Monaco, as the plane heads toward the sea.
The Mediterranean
Expansive views of the deep blue sea during the final leg of the journey toward the Balearics.
Cabrera Archipelago
If approaching from the south, views of the uninhabited national park islands off the coast of Mallorca.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights and a higher chance of seeing the glittering Mediterranean coastline of France. This side is also excellent for viewing the Bay of Palma if the aircraft loops around the island for a southern approach. Keep an eye out for cruise ships departing the Port of Palma.
