Which side of the plane to sit from Cologne Bonn Airport (Cologne) to Ibiza Airport (Ibiza)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route because it offers a stunning perspective of the Spanish coastline and the iconic approach into Ibiza Airport, featuring views of the historic Old Town and the famous rock of Es Vedrà.

Eifel National Park
Early in the flight, see the dense forests and rolling hills of the volcanic Eifel region in Germany.
Massif Central
Look out for the ancient volcanic peaks and rugged plateaus of central France.
Costa Brava
As you reach the Mediterranean, enjoy views of the jagged cliffs and hidden coves of the Spanish coastline.
Dalt Vila (Ibiza Town)
During the approach into Runway 24, this side provides an unbeatable view of the UNESCO-listed fortress of Ibiza Town.
Es Vedrà
Depending on the flight path, the mystical and massive limestone rock of Es Vedrà can be spotted rising from the sea.
The right side is the 'money side' for the final approach into Ibiza. To capture the best photos of the Dalt Vila fortress and the harbor, sit toward the front or rear to avoid wing obstruction. On afternoon flights, use a polarizing filter if possible to combat the glare from the Mediterranean sun.
Book Hotels in IbizaCologne and the Rhine
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy a view of the winding Rhine River and the spires of the Cologne Cathedral.
The Jura Mountains
Fly over the craggy limestone ridges of the Jura range along the French-Swiss border region.
Eastern Pyrenees
A high-altitude crossing of the eastern Pyrenees provides a dramatic transition from France into Spain.
Mediterranean Sea
Vast, deep blue views as the aircraft leaves the mainland and begins its descent over the sea.
Formentera
On the final approach, the turquoise waters and white sands of Ibiza's sister island, Formentera, are often visible.
For morning flights, the left side will be shaded, making photography of the Pyrenees much easier. Keep your eyes peeled as you descend; if the plane approaches from the south, you'll get the best view of the salt flats (Ses Salines) and Formentera's crystal clear coastline.
