BREIBZ

Which side of the plane to sit from Bremen Airport (Bremen) to Ibiza Airport (Ibiza)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the diverse landscapes of Western Europe, including the volcanic Massif Central and a direct crossing of the Pyrenees, followed by the iconic rocky silhouettes of the Balearic coastline during arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌋

Massif Central

The dramatic ancient volcanic peaks and deep gorges of south-central France.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

A spectacular crossing of the high mountain border between France and Spain, often featuring snow-capped peaks until early summer.

🏖️

Costa Brava

The rugged, rocky coastline of Catalonia and the city of Barcelona visible as you leave mainland Europe.

🌅

Es Vedrà

The mystical and massive limestone rock formation rising from the sea off Ibiza's southwest coast during the landing loop.

🏠

Ibiza Old Town

Depending on the wind direction, a stunning view of Dalt Vila's fortified walls during the final approach turn.

The right side is unbeatable for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. Watch for the Pyrenees roughly 100 minutes into the flight. If the plane lands on Runway 06 (approaching from the southwest), the right side provides the most iconic views of the island's coastline and Es Vedrà.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Bremen Altstadt

Aerial view of the Weser River and the historic city center immediately after takeoff from BRE.

🏔️

Distant Alpine Chain

On very clear days, the snow-capped Swiss and French Alps are visible on the far eastern horizon over central France.

🍷

Rhône Valley

The lush corridors of the French wine regions and the winding Rhône River as the flight nears the Mediterranean.

🌊

Golfe du Lion

A panoramic view of the sweeping French Mediterranean coastline and the port of Marseille in the distance.

🏝️

Formentera Vistas

During the final descent, catch the turquoise waters and white sands of Ibiza's sister island to the south.

Sit on the left if you are taking a morning flight to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is excellent for spotting the curvature of the Mediterranean coast and, if the approach path allows, a view of the salt pans (Ses Salines) just before touchdown.
