Which side of the plane to sit from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna) to Ibiza Airport (Ibiza)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the dramatic western Corsican coastline and the most iconic landmarks of Ibiza, including Es Vedra and the historic Dalt Vila during the final approach.
Cap Corse
The 'finger' of northern Corsica is often visible as the flight path crosses the Ligurian Sea.
Western Corsica
Spectacular views of the jagged red granite cliffs and the UNESCO-listed Gulf of Porto.
Mediterranean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the sea, perfect for witnessing the transition from deep blue to golden hues.
Es Vedrà
The mythical and imposing limestone rock island rising from the sea is a highlight during the Ibiza approach.
Ibiza Dalt Vila
Excellent views of the fortified old town and the harbor if the plane approaches from the north.
Choose the right side for sunset flights to experience the 'Golden Hour' over the Mediterranean. When approaching Ibiza, this side frequently offers a direct view of the mysterious Es Vedrà rock. If the wind requires a northern approach, you will also see the stunning coastline of San Antonio.
Apennine Mountains
Bird's-eye view of the rugged mountain range separating Bologna from the Tuscan coast shortly after takeoff.
Elba Island
Clear views of the largest island in the Tuscan Archipelago, famous for Napoleon's exile and its turquoise bays.
Tyrrhenian Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water with glimpses of the smaller islands like Pianosa and Montecristo.
Formentera
Ibiza's smaller neighbor comes into view during the descent, showcasing its world-famous white sand beaches.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes into the flight for the best views of the Tuscan islands. This side is also excellent for spotting the salt pans of Formentera just before landing.
