DUSIBZ

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

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Pyrenees mountains during the cruise phase and provides the most iconic view of the mystical Es Vedrà rock formation during the final approach into Ibiza.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🗼

Paris Basin

On clear days, the vast urban expanse of the greater Paris region is visible in the distance to the west.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

Dramatic, high-altitude views of the snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between France and Spain.

🏖️

Costa Brava

The rugged, beautiful coastline of northern Spain where the mountains meet the Mediterranean Sea.

🏙️

Barcelona

A distant but distinct view of the Catalan capital and its famous grid-like Eixample district.

🗿

Es Vedrà

The legendary and magnetic limestone rock rising 400 meters from the sea, visible during the final descent into IBZ.

The right side is essential for photographers wanting to capture Es Vedrà. For late afternoon flights, you will experience a beautiful sunset over the sea as you approach the island. Ensure you have your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing as the aircraft often banks right, showcasing the Ibizan interior and coastline.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Rhine River Valley

Aerial views of the winding Rhine and the industrial heart of the Nordrhein-Westfalen region immediately after takeoff.

🌋

Massif Central

Look down upon the ancient, dormant volcanic peaks and lush green plateaus of central France.

🦩

Camargue Wetlands

Spot the unique salt pans and marshy landscapes of the Rhone delta near the French Mediterranean coast.

🏝️

Formentera

On the final descent, you often get a clear view of the turquoise waters and white sands of Ibiza's sister island to the south.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. As you approach the Balearics, keep an eye out for the island of Mallorca visible on the horizon to the east. The left side often provides a great perspective of the Ibizan coastline if the plane loops around for a southern landing.
