Which side of the plane to sit from Alicante International Airport (Alicante) to Ibiza Airport (Ibiza)?
Right Side of the Plane
While the left side offers views of the Spanish coastline initially, the right side provides the iconic approach over the turquoise waters of Formentera and the vibrant salt flats of Ibiza.
Formentera Island
Breathtaking views of Ibiza's sister island, showcasing its famous white sand beaches like Ses Illetes and crystal-clear turquoise waters.
Ses Salines Salt Flats
The geometric, often pink-hued salt evaporation ponds located at the southern tip of Ibiza, right next to the airport runway.
Dalt Vila (Ibiza Town)
The ancient fortified old town and the cathedral of Ibiza are often visible during the final banking turn for landing.
Playa d'en Bossa
Aerial view of Ibiza's longest beach and its famous beach clubs as the plane descends for a landing on Runway 06.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. Aim for a window seat to see Formentera, which is only visible from this side. For evening flights, this side catches the sunset reflections on the Mediterranean. The approach over the Ses Salines salt pans is one of the most photographed landing views in Europe.
Alicante City Center
Clear views of the Port of Alicante and the historic Santa Bárbara Castle perched atop Mount Benacantil immediately after takeoff.
Costa Blanca Coastline
Scenic perspective of the northern Alicante province, including the high-rise skyline of Benidorm and the cliffs of Altea.
Peñón de Ifach
The massive limestone rock of Calp is often visible as the aircraft transitions from the mainland toward the Mediterranean Sea.
Balearic Sea Crossing
A vast expanse of deep blue Mediterranean waters often dotted with ferries and cargo ships traveling between the islands and the mainland.
Sit on the left if you want to see the rugged mountains of the Alicante province and the Spanish coastline receding. On clear days, you may catch a glimpse of the northern tip of Ibiza (Cape Nonó) during the descent if the plane approaches from the north.
