Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Pyrenees mountain range and a higher probability of seeing the iconic Es Vedrà rock formation and the turquoise waters of Formentera during the descent into Ibiza.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏰

Loire Valley

Vistas of the winding Loire River and the famous chateaux region of central-western France.

🏔️

Pyrenees Mountains

A majestic crossing over the high-altitude border between France and Spain, often snow-capped.

🏙️

Barcelona Coastline

Distant views of the Catalan capital and its famous urban grid if the flight path tracks closer to the coast.

🏝️

Formentera

The stunning turquoise shallows and white sands of Ibiza's sister island during the southern approach loop.

🗿

Es Vedrà

The legendary and mystical limestone rock rising 400 meters out of the sea, usually visible during the final turn.

The right side is superior for the arrival phase. If the wind is from the west (standard), the plane will often circle around the south of the island, offering a perfect view of the crystalline waters of Formentera and the 'Magic Rock' of Es Vedrà. Afternoon flights on this side may experience some glare, so a polarizing filter for your camera is recommended.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🇧🇪

Wallonia Countryside

Green rolling hills and industrial heritage sites of southern Belgium visible immediately after takeoff from Charleroi.

🏔️

Massif Central

The rugged volcanic plateaus and ancient peaks of central France providing a textured landscape mid-flight.

🦩

Camargue Delta

The unique salt pans and wetlands of the Rhone delta where the land meets the Mediterranean Sea.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean as the flight path leaves mainland France.

🏰

Dalt Vila

The historic fortified old town of Ibiza Town visible if the aircraft approaches Runway 24 from the northeast.

Sit on the left for softer morning light when flying south to avoid the direct sun glare. During the descent, look out for the salt flats of Ses Salines. In the winter, the Massif Central may be dusted with snow, making for excellent photography through the window.
