GVAIBZ

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unparalleled departure view of Lake Geneva and the Swiss Alps, followed by a stunning coastal transition over the French Mediterranean toward the Balearic Islands.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
💧

Lake Geneva (Lac Léman)

Immediate views of the crescent-shaped lake and the Jet d'Eau fountain upon departure from GVA.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in Europe is often visible to the southeast shortly after the plane reaches cruising altitude.

🏖️

French Riviera Coast

Clear views of the coastline near Marseille and the Camargue wetlands as the route heads out over the sea.

🏰

Ibiza Old Town (Dalt Vila)

On the standard approach to Runway 24, you get a perfect view of the historic fortified city and the port.

Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sun illuminating the Alps. During the final 10 minutes of the flight, this side typically offers the best view of Ibiza's main harbor and the historic Dalt Vila district during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Jura Mountains

Rugged limestone ridges stretching along the French-Swiss border visible immediately after takeoff.

🍇

Rhône Valley

Aerial perspective of the winding Rhône river and the famous vineyards of southern France.

🌊

Spanish Mediterranean Coast

Distant views of the Costa Brava and the sprawling metropolitan area of Barcelona to the west.

🌅

Es Vedrà

The mystical and iconic rocky island off the southwest coast of Ibiza is often visible during the final turn for landing.

Choose the right side for sunset flights to enjoy the colors over the Mediterranean. It is also the better side for viewing the rugged, less-developed northern coastline of Ibiza as the aircraft begins its arrival sequence.
