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

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior scenic experience, offering a spectacular panoramic view of the Catalan coastline, the city of Barcelona, and the iconic jagged peaks of Montserrat before the sea crossing toward Ibiza.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Barcelona Skyline

A stunning aerial perspective of the Eixample district, Sagrada Famรญlia, and the Olympic Port as you fly south.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Montserrat Massif

The unique, multi-peaked rocky range visible inland, providing a dramatic silhouette against the horizon.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Costa Daurada

Beautiful views of the golden coastline stretching from Sitges down toward Tarragona.

๐Ÿ—ฟ

Es Vedrร 

The legendary and mystical limestone rock island rising from the sea off Ibiza's southwest coast, often visible during specific approach patterns.

๐ŸŒ…

Ibiza North Coast

Rugged cliffs and secluded turquoise coves of the island's more wild northern regions.

The right side is the 'landmark side.' For the best visibility of the Spanish mainland and Barcelona, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the best city views.

Left Side Highlights

๐ŸŒŠ

Mediterranean Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Balearic Sea as the aircraft leaves the mainland.

Tagomago Island

Dalt Vila

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare. It offers a more peaceful, maritime view and is excellent for spotting the smaller islets surrounding Ibiza during the landing sequence.
