IBZ → ALC
Which side of the plane to sit from Ibiza Airport (Ibiza) to Alicante International Airport (Alicante)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the definitive choice for this short hop, offering views of the historic Ibiza old town upon takeoff, a clear look at Formentera, and a stunning panoramic approach along the Costa Blanca coastline.
Dalt Vila
The UNESCO-listed historic old town of Ibiza and the harbor as you climb out from IBZ.
Formentera
Spectacular views of the neighboring island and the narrow sandbar of S'Espalmador.
Peñón de Ifach
The massive limestone rock of Calpe jutting into the sea as you approach the mainland.
Benidorm Skyline
The dense concentration of skyscrapers along the coast, often referred to as the Manhattan of Spain.
Serra Aitana
The rugged, mountainous backdrop of the Alicante province visible during the descent.
This side is superior for landmarks. Since this is a very short flight (approx. 30-45 minutes), ensure you are seated early to see Formentera. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting on the Benidorm skyline and the cliffs of the Costa Blanca.
Ses Salines Natural Park
The sparkling salt pans and turquoise waters of southern Ibiza immediately after takeoff.
Es Vedrà
If the flight path banks west, look back for a glimpse of this iconic, mystical limestone rock.
Balearic Sea
Deep blue Mediterranean vistas for the majority of the flight's short cruising duration.
Alicante Harbor
Views of the industrial and passenger ferry terminals during the descent into ALC.
Sit on this side for morning flights to have the sun behind you. Keep your camera ready immediately after wheels-up to capture the vibrant colors of the salt flats.
