Our Recommendation
8.8

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏰

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

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.
