Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the majestic Swiss and French Alps early in the flight and provides a panoramic view of the Balearic archipelago during the descent into Ibiza.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Swiss Alps Panorama

Shortly after departure, enjoy distant views of the snow-capped Bernese Oberland peaks including the Eiger and Jungfrau.

💧

Lake Geneva

The iconic crescent-shaped lake and the city of Geneva are often visible as the plane tracks south through French airspace.

⚓

Marseille Coastline

Clear views of the French Mediterranean coast, the busy port of Marseille, and the Frioul archipelago.

🏝️

Mallorca & Menorca

As the flight crosses the Mediterranean, the neighboring Balearic islands often appear on the horizon to the east.

🏖️

Ibiza Town (Eivissa)

Depending on the landing pattern, you may see the historic Dalt Vila and the marina as you descend toward the runway.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sun illuminating the Alps without glare. During descent, this side typically offers the first glimpse of the Balearic chain. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best island silhouettes.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Massif Central

View the rugged volcanic landscapes and deep plateaus of central France during the mid-portion of the flight.

🍇

Rhône Valley

The flight path often parallels the Rhône River, showcasing the famous terraced vineyards of the northern and southern Rhône.

🦩

Camargue Wetlands

Look down at the salt pans and lagoons near Montpellier, famous for their pink hues and flamingos.

🪨

Es Vedrà

On specific westerly approaches, the mystical and massive limestone rock formation of Es Vedrà rises dramatically from the sea.

🧂

Ses Salines

The sparkling salt evaporation ponds at the southern tip of Ibiza provide a colorful patchwork just before touchdown.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Mediterranean Sea. If the aircraft approaches Ibiza from the southwest, you will have a front-row seat to Es Vedrà, one of the island's most famous landmarks. Seasonal mistral winds in France can offer exceptionally clear visibility of the coastline from this side.
