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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a dramatic perspective of the Massif Central and the Pyrenees, followed by a spectacular coastal run past Barcelona and a prime view of Ibiza's coastline upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Massif Central

The rugged volcanic landscape and deep gorges of south-central France provide a textured aerial view.

πŸ”οΈ

The Pyrenees

A breathtaking crossing of the jagged, high-altitude border between France and Spain.

πŸ™οΈ

Barcelona View

Iconic views of the city's grid-like Eixample district, the Sagrada FamΓ­lia, and the bustling port area.

πŸ–οΈ

Costa Dorada

The golden beaches and turquoise waters of the Spanish coastline stretching south from Catalonia.

🏰

Dalt Vila

The historic fortified old town of Ibiza is often visible during the final turn toward the runway.

The right side is the winner for landmarks. To see Barcelona, look out about 30-40 minutes before landing. During the approach to Ibiza Airport (IBZ), if the plane lands on Runway 24, the right side gets a stunning panoramic view of the island's salt flats and the southern beaches.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Ardennes Forest

Dense green landscapes of the Belgian and French Ardennes shortly after departure from Eindhoven.

πŸ”οΈ

Distant French Alps

On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Alps are visible on the far eastern horizon during the cruise over France.

🦩

Camargue Delta

The unique pink-tinged salt pans and wetlands of the Rhone delta as the plane reaches the Mediterranean.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea as the flight path transitions from mainland Europe.

🏝️

Mallorca Silhouette

The largest Balearic island is often visible to the east during the final descent into Ibiza.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun, which will be to the west. While the scenery is slightly less dramatic than the right, it offers a peaceful view of the Mediterranean horizon and the best chance to spot the distant Alps on a clear morning.
