FMOIBZ

Which side of the plane to sit from Münster Osnabrück Airport (Munster) to Ibiza Airport (Ibiza)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Mediterranean approach and the historic center of Ibiza during arrival.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏭

Ruhr Basin

View the dense industrial landscape and urban sprawl of Western Germany shortly after departure.

🏔️

Western Alps

On clear days, the distant snowy peaks of the French and Swiss Alps are visible to the far left over the horizon.

🏙️

Lyon & Rhone

Passing over central France, the confluence of the Saone and Rhone rivers is a major urban landmark.

🏝️

Mallorca

During the descent, the rugged north coast of Mallorca often appears as the plane crosses the Balearic Sea.

🏰

Dalt Vila

The historic UNESCO old town of Ibiza is visible if the plane approaches from the north for Runway 24.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh afternoon sun. This side typically offers the best view of Ibiza's historic center on arrival. If the wind is from the west, you will get a perfect view of the harbor and Dalt Vila just seconds before touchdown.

Right Side Highlights
8.0
🌳

Teutoburg Forest

Dense green ridges and rolling hills are visible immediately south of Munster Osnabruck Airport.

🌋

Massif Central

The ancient volcanic landscapes and plateaus of south-central France provide dramatic topography.

⛰️

Pyrenees

Looking southwest, the high peaks separating France and Spain may be visible on the horizon during the coastal transition.

🏖️

Montpellier Coast

The unique lagoons and salt pans of the French Mediterranean coast are prominent near the border.

🗿

Es Vedra

The mystical limestone rock off Ibiza southwest coast is often visible if the aircraft loops around the island for a Runway 06 landing.

The right side is ideal for sunset flights, offering views of the sun dipping into the Mediterranean. Watch for the dramatic Es Vedra rock if the plane circles to the south of the island before landing. It is also the better side for seeing the volcanic regions of central France.
