BRNIBZ

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

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the majestic Bernese Oberland peaks shortly after takeoff, followed by a stunning perspective of the French Riviera coastline and the turquoise waters surrounding Formentera upon arrival.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Bernese Oberland

Spectacular views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks appearing shortly after departure from Bern.

❄️

French Alps

The snow-capped peaks of the Massif des Écrins and distant views of Mont Blanc to the east.

⚓

Marseille & Calanques

The rugged white limestone cliffs and deep blue inlets of the Calanques National Park near Marseille.

🌊

Mediterranean Crossing

A long stretch over the deep blue Balearic Sea as you transition from mainland Europe to the islands.

🏝️

Formentera

Vibrant turquoise waters and white sand beaches of Ibiza's neighbor island visible during the final descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun glare. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes of takeoff for the best Alpine panoramas. During descent into IBZ, look for the narrow spit of land connecting Formentera to Espalmador.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌲

Jura Mountains

The lush, folded ridges of the Jura range stretching along the Swiss-French border.

🍷

Rhône Valley

Follow the winding path of the Rhône River through the famous vineyards of southern France.

🦩

The Camargue

The unique salt pans and wetlands of the Rhône delta, often showing pink hues from the air.

🏖️

Gulf of Lion

Panoramic views of the crescent-shaped coastline stretching toward the Pyrenees and Spain.

🗿

Es Vedrà

If the flight approaches from the north, look for the iconic, mystical limestone rock rising from the sea.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. On approach, if the plane circles the island from the west, you will get an incredible view of the dramatic Es Vedrà rock formation and the secluded coves of western Ibiza.
