HAJIBZ

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of dramatic mountain crossings over the Pyrenees and the iconic approach views of Ibiza's coastline including the mystical Es Vedra rock formation.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Middle Rhine Valley

Distant views of the castle-dotted Rhine region as you head south through western Germany.

🌋

Massif Central

Observe the ancient volcanic landscapes and rugged plateaus of central France.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

A spectacular crossing of the snow-capped border between France and Spain, offering jagged peaks and deep valleys.

🏙️

Barcelona Coastline

As the plane reaches the Mediterranean, the Catalan capital and its famous grid-like Eixample district can often be seen.

🗿

Es Vedra

The legendary and massive limestone rock formation off the coast of Ibiza is frequently visible on the final approach into IBZ airport.

The right side is essential for the iconic Es Vedra view during a Runway 24 landing. For midday flights, use a window blind to manage the southern sun. The Pyrenees crossing is the photographic highlight of this route.

⛰️

Harz Mountains

Shortly after takeoff, view the northernmost mountain range in Germany with the Brocken peak visible to the southeast.

🍇

Rhone Valley

The flight often tracks along the fertile valleys of eastern France, showing the winding rivers and vineyards.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

Panoramic views of the French Mediterranean coastline as the aircraft transitions from land to sea.

🏝️

Mallorca Silhouette

On clear days, the largest Balearic island is visible on the horizon during the final cruise phase.

Choose this side for softer morning light. During the final descent, you might catch a glimpse of the Formentera coastline if the aircraft approaches from the north. Look for the turquoise waters of the Ses Salines Natural Park.
