Which side of the plane to sit from Valencia Airport (Valencia) to Menorca Airport (Menorca)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Balearic archipelago and the iconic approach into the Port of Mahón, one of the world's largest natural harbors.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🛳️

Port of Valencia

A clear view of the massive logistics port and the beaches of El Saler during departure.

🏝️

Ibiza Silhouette

On clear days, the distant outlines of Ibiza and Formentera can be spotted to the south.

⛪

Bay of Palma

Distant views of Mallorca's capital city and the southern coastline of the island.

⚓

Port of Mahón

An incredible view of the 5km-long natural harbor, featuring historic fortresses and small islands on descent.

🏘️

Binibeca Vell

The famous white-washed 'fishing village' of Menorca is often visible just before touchdown.

Request the right side specifically for the landing approach into Menorca (MAH). Flights usually land facing east, providing the right side with an unparalleled view of the harbor. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography of the coastal white villages.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Valencia Cityscape

Aerial views of the City of Arts and Sciences and the Turia Gardens immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Serra de Tramuntana

The rugged UNESCO World Heritage mountain range along the northern coast of Mallorca visible mid-flight.

🌊

Northern Menorca Coast

Views of the wild, reddish terrain of the Cavalleria Cape and remote northern coves.

To see the dramatic mountains of Mallorca, choose a seat forward of the wing. This side is particularly scenic during late afternoon flights when the sun sets behind the Spanish mainland, casting long shadows over the Mediterranean.
