Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Palma De Mallorca. While takeoff offers pleasant views of southern England, the landing approach into Palma provides more dramatic and distinctive scenery—the Mediterranean, mountain ranges, and island geography are far more visually striking than the English countryside. Left seats capture the best of the approach.

During takeoff from Gatwick (LGW), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the South Downs and the Weald as the aircraft climbs southward from Gatwick. The terrain rolls away beneath you with clear definition of the chalk escarpment and forested valleys. Notable sights include: South Downs ridge, Weald of Sussex, English Channel coastline near Brighton, Isle of Wight in the distance.

When landing at Palma De Mallorca (PMI), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views of the Balearic coastline and Palma's urban sprawl as you descend toward PMI. You'll see the Serra de Tramuntana mountains to the northwest and the Mediterranean's turquoise waters framing the island. Notable sights include: Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, Palma city and harbor, Mediterranean coastline, Mallorca's interior plateau.

The flight from Gatwick (LGW) to Palma De Mallorca (PMI) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the English Channel (visible as a water crossing around 20 minutes after takeoff), then passes over northern France with views of the Normandy coast and inland agricultural regions. The Bay of Biscay is crossed in the mid-flight phase, offering open water views. As you approach Spain, the Pyrenees may be visible on the horizon to the left (north) depending on exact routing. The flight then tracks southeast across central Spain or directly over the Mediterranean toward the Balearic Islands, with the Spanish coast near Valencia potentially visible before the final descent to Mallorca.
