FDH → IBZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Friedrichshafen Airport (Friedrichshafen) to Ibiza Airport (Ibiza)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the high Alps to the Mediterranean coastline, including a spectacular fly-by of Barcelona and the best views of Ibiza's historic Old Town during descent.
Swiss and French Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks of the central Alps shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
French Riviera
A sweeping view of the Côte d'Azur coastline as the flight path crosses from France into the Mediterranean.
Barcelona Skyline
Clear views of the Eixample district's grid pattern and the Sagrada Família when flying along the Spanish coast.
Balearic Sea
Vibrant turquoise waters and small coastal islets visible during the final leg of the journey.
Dalt Vila
An iconic view of Ibiza’s fortified Old Town and the busy harbor during the final approach into IBZ.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Barcelona coastline. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Alps and the Spanish coast. In summer, the late afternoon sun can create a beautiful golden hour glow over the Mediterranean islands.
Lake Constance
An immediate aerial view of the 'Bodensee' and the Friedrichshafen shoreline right after takeoff.
Mont Blanc Range
Distant but clear views of Europe's highest peak if the flight path tracks through western Switzerland.
Rhône Valley
The winding Rhône river and the rolling vineyards of the famous French wine region.
Eastern Pyrenees
The rugged mountain range separating France and Spain, visible as you head toward the sea.
Es Vedrà
If the flight approaches Ibiza from the west, look out for this mysterious and iconic rocky island.
The right side is excellent for mountain enthusiasts during the first half of the flight. However, be aware that during midday flights, the southern sun will be directly on this side, which can cause significant glare on the window. Watch for the 'Bodensee' immediately upon departure as the plane climbs.
