IBZ → BLQ
Which side of the plane to sit from Ibiza Airport (Ibiza) to Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular sequence of Mediterranean islands, including direct views of Mallorca and Menorca, followed by the rugged northern coastline of Corsica and the Tuscan Archipelago.
Mallorca and Menorca
Exceptional views of the neighboring Balearic Islands shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Cap Corse
The northern 'finger' of Corsica is often visible, showing its jagged mountain ridges.
Elba Island
Look for the distinctive shape of Elba and the smaller islands of the Tuscan Archipelago.
Tuscan Coast
Views of the Versilia beaches and the white marble peaks of the Apuan Alps near Carrara.
Po Valley
The final descent offers a clear view of the fertile plains and red-tiled roofs of Bologna.
The right side is the 'island hopper's' choice. For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating Mallorca and the Tuscan islands. Keep a lookout for the white scars in the mountains near Carrara; those are the world-famous marble quarries.
Ibiza Town
Bird's-eye view of Dalt Vila and the historic harbor immediately after takeoff from IBZ.
Gulf of Lion
Panoramic views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea during the cruise phase.
French Riviera
Distant views of the glamorous coastline near Nice and Monaco as the flight turns toward Italy.
Port of Genoa
Italy's largest seaport becomes visible as the aircraft approaches the Ligurian coast.
Ligurian Apennines
Dramatic view of the mountains rising sharply from the sea before the final descent.
Sit on the left for better views of the Ibiza coastline during departure. During the final approach into BLQ, this side often sees the rolling hills of Emilia-Romagna. Late afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the Italian coastline without direct sun glare.
