What should I wear or bring for a comfortable helicopter flight over Mallorca?

Taking to the skies above the Serra de Tramuntana or the turquoise coves scattered along the east coast means preparing for a slightly cooler and windier environment than on solid ground. Layers are your best ally here—lightweight, breathable clothing underneath, topped with a windbreaker or a soft jacket, works well, especially in spring and autumn when temperatures can vary. Closed-toe shoes with good grip, like sneakers or low boots, are advisable for safely boarding and disembarking the helicopter, often on uneven rural landing spots near places like Formentor or Valldemossa.

A wide-brimmed hat or light scarf can guard against the rotor wash chill, and sunglasses will protect your eyes from bright sunshine reflecting off the Mediterranean below. Motion sickness tablets could be a sensible precaution if you’re prone to airsickness, given the sometimes bumpy air currents above the Serra ridges. Don’t forget your camera or smartphone—views of the Ma-13 winding through the Tramuntana, together with beaches like Es Trenc and Cala Mondrago, are spectacular from above and worth capturing for memories. With these simple additions to your bag, your helicopter excursion across this varied landscape should be both comfortable and unforgettable.
