Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most iconic views of Ibiza's historic center upon takeoff and typically provides a panoramic view of the Barcelona skyline and harbor during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏰

Dalt Vila

The UNESCO-listed fortress and ancient old town of Ibiza directly after takeoff.

🏙️

Barcelona Skyline

Unparalleled views of the Sagrada Família, Agbar Tower, and the grid-like Eixample district.

🏟️

Montjuïc Hill

The Olympic Stadium and the Palau Nacional overlooking the city and the airport.

🚢

Port of Barcelona

One of Europe's busiest cruise terminals and the iconic W Hotel (the 'Sail').

🌊

Talamanca Bay

Lush turquoise waters and luxury yachts anchored just outside Ibiza Town.

This is the premier side for photography of the Barcelona cityscape. For the best view, select a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine glare and heat haze. The 'Barcelona view' occurs in the last 5 minutes of the flight when the plane aligns with runway 24R from the sea.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🧂

Ses Salines

The sparkling salt pans and turquoise waters of Ibiza's southern natural park.

🗿

Es Vedrà

The legendary, monolithic limestone rock island rising dramatically from the sea.

🏖️

Sitges Coastline

The beautiful beaches and white buildings of Sitges during the descent into Catalonia.

⛰️

Garraf Massif

Rugged limestone cliffs and Mediterranean scrubland just before touching down.

Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Spanish mainland. On clear days, you may see the Ebro Delta far to the west during the mid-flight cruise. During takeoff, if departing south, this side provides the best view of the famous 'Salt Mountains'.
