Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Palma De Mallorca. While the right side wins at Heathrow departure for London views, the left side delivers the more spectacular scenery overall: the French countryside and Pyrenees in the mid-flight, and the dramatic Serra de Tramuntana mountains combined with the Bay of Palma on arrival. The mountain and Mediterranean combination on the left at landing is the highlight of the route.

During takeoff from Heathrow (LHR), sit on the Right side for the best views. Heathrow typically departs eastbound on runways 09L/09R, meaning a right-side seat gives you views south over Greater London as you climb out. You'll see the Thames snaking through the city, with central London landmarks visible as you gain altitude and bank southeast toward the English Channel. Notable sights include: River Thames through central London, Windsor Castle and Windsor Great Park to the west briefly, the M25 orbital motorway arc, and the urban sprawl of south London boroughs.

When landing at Palma De Mallorca (PMI), sit on the Left side for the best views. Palma airport typically lands on runway 06 (northeast approach) or runway 24 (southwest approach). On the more common runway 24 approach from the northeast, a left-side seat faces northwest over the Bay of Palma and gives you the best view of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range running along the island's northwest coast, as well as Palma city and its cathedral on the bay. Notable sights include: Serra de Tramuntana mountain range along the northwest coast, Bay of Palma (Badia de Palma), Palma city waterfront and Cathedral de Mallorca, and the flat agricultural interior of the island.

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

The route tracks southeast across the English Channel, then over northern France and the Loire Valley. As you cross into southern France the terrain rises toward the Massif Central. The Pyrenees mountain range appears as a prominent east-west ridge as you cross into Spanish airspace, with peaks clearly visible from altitude. The route then crosses Catalonia and the Costa Dorada before the Mediterranean opens up, with the Balearic Sea visible before Mallorca appears ahead.
