While takeoff favors the right for Mallorca's mountains, the landing approach into Milan offers superior scenery on the left with the Ticino River valley and Alpine views. Since landing views typically last longer and provide more dramatic perspective during descent, left-side seats deliver the better overall experience for this route.
Flight Path
The flight crosses the Mediterranean Sea for approximately 1 hour, with the Balearic Islands visible shortly after takeoff (Menorca and Ibiza to the northeast). The route then passes over southern France, with the Pyrenees visible on the western horizon during the mid-flight segment. As you approach Italy, the Alps become increasingly prominent on the northern horizon, and the Ligurian coast appears briefly before turning inland toward Milan.
