Sit on the right for the ultimate Alpine experience. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Alps; however, afternoon flights may face the sun, causing glare. Watch closely about 45 minutes into the flight for the Massif du Mont-Blanc. On arrival, the right side usually provides the best view of Mallorca’s rugged northern cliffs and the Tramuntana mountain range before the final turn for landing at PMI airport.
