Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Palma De Mallorca to San Sebastian. While takeoff offers dramatic mountain scenery, the landing approach into San Sebastián provides more varied and visually distinctive geography—the Bay of Biscay, Pyrenees, and the iconic Concha Bay make for a more memorable window experience overall.

Left seats face north during climb-out, giving direct views of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range and the northern Mallorca coastline as you gain altitude. Notable sights include: Serra de Tramuntana (dramatic limestone ridge running northeast-southwest along Mallorca's north coast), Palma Bay (Mediterranean waters immediately below during initial climb), Cabrera Archipelago (small islands visible to the southeast as you turn northbound), Menorca island (visible on the horizon to the northeast after reaching 10,000+ feet).

When landing at San Sebastian (EAS), sit on the Right side for the best views. San Sebastián uses runway 12 (southbound approach). Right seats face west during descent into the airport, offering views of the Basque coastline, the Bay of Biscay, and the Pyrenees foothills as you descend toward the runway. Notable sights include: Bay of Biscay (Atlantic waters to the west and north), Pyrenees Mountains (snow-capped peaks visible on the southern horizon during descent), Basque coastal towns including Donostia/San Sebastián city center, Concha Bay (the distinctive curved beach and bay immediately adjacent to the airport).

The flight from Palma De Mallorca (PMI) to San Sebastian (EAS) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Mediterranean northwestbound, passing over the Balearic Sea.

The transition from Mediterranean to Atlantic waters occurs during descent into San Sebastián.
