London & Home Counties
Distant views of the London metropolitan sprawl and the winding River Thames after departing the East Midlands.
English Channel
A clear view of the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the southern English coastline near Portsmouth.
The Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the eastern Pyrenees mountain range as the flight crosses the border from France into Spain.
Costa Brava
The rugged Mediterranean coastline of northern Spain and the sprawling city of Barcelona visible to the east.
Ibiza Town (Dalt Vila)
On a standard approach to Runway 24, you will see the historic UNESCO-listed old town and the harbor.
Formentera
Turquoise waters and the sandy shores of Ibiza's sister island are frequently visible during the final turn.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun as you head south. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Pyrenees, but the highlight is the final 5 minutes when the plane banks over the Mediterranean for the approach. Look for the white 'fincas' dotting the landscape.

Valencia Coast

Es Vedrà
The mystical and dramatic limestone rock formation rising from the sea off the southwest coast of Ibiza.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Balearic Sea. If the flight approaches from the west, you may get a direct view of the mysterious Es Vedrà rock. Expect more direct sunlight on this side throughout the journey.
