Which side of the plane to sit from Modlin Airport (Warsaw) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views, including the highest peaks of the Alps like Mont Blanc and the dramatic approach over Mallorca's northern mountain range.
Kampinos National Park
Immediately after takeoff from Modlin, the right side looks over the vast, dense forests of this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe is frequently visible on the right when the flight path crosses the French-Swiss border region.
Lake Geneva
The distinctive crescent-shaped lake and the city of Geneva are often visible as the flight transitions toward southern France.
Rhรดne Valley
Geometric patterns of vineyards and the winding Rhรดne River characterize the view over southeastern France.
Serra de Tramuntana
The rugged limestone peaks of Mallorca's northern coast provide a dramatic first look at the island during the descent.
The right side is the 'mountain lover's' choice. For the best photography of the Alps, try to book an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the northern slopes. Watch for the dramatic change from the deep blue Mediterranean to the rocky cliffs of Mallorca's northern shore.
Warsaw Skyline
If departing to the south, the left side provides a distant view of the Palace of Culture and Science and the city's growing skyscraper cluster.
Austrian & Swiss Alps
Wide panoramic views of the eastern and central Alpine massifs, often featuring snow-capped peaks regardless of the season.
French Riviera Coastline
As the flight crosses into the Mediterranean, the left side often glimpses the coastal curves near Marseille and the Gulf of Lion.
Palma Cathedral
On the final approach into PMI, the left side offers the best view of the massive Gothic 'La Seu' cathedral standing over the harbor.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is superior for seeing the city of Palma and its famous cathedral during the final seconds before landing, especially if the plane approaches from the bay.
