IBZBRN

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

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular front-row seat to the French and Swiss Alps, featuring Mont Blanc and the iconic peaks of the Bernese Oberland during the approach into Bern.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏝️

Mallorca

The silhouette of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains on the neighboring Balearic island is often visible to the East.

🏙️

Marseille Coast

The rugged Calanques and the bustling port city of Marseille as you cross the French coastline.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in the Alps typically appears as a massive, snow-capped dome in the distance to the East.

🏞️

Lake Neuchâtel

Switzerland's largest lake entirely within its borders, visible during the descent into the Bernese plateau.

🏔️

Bernese Alps

Breathtaking proximity to the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks during the final approach into Bern Belp.

The right side is the premier choice for alpine enthusiasts. On morning flights, the sun illuminates the peaks perfectly for photography. Aim for a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the high-altitude glaciers.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏖️

Ibiza Old Town

Aerial view of Dalt Vila and the historic harbor immediately after departure if taking off to the North.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

The deep blue expanse of the Mediterranean and the coastal lagoons near Montpellier.

🏙️

Montpellier

Clear views of the city layout and the Etang de Thau, famous for oyster farming.

⛰️

Jura Mountains

Distinctive parallel limestone ridges and deep forested valleys along the Franco-Swiss border.

💧

Lake Geneva

The northern shores of the crescent-shaped lake, including the city of Lausanne and the Lavaux vineyards.

Choose the left side for late afternoon or sunset flights to catch the golden hour over the Mediterranean without direct solar glare. Keep an eye out for the distinctive 'U' shape of the Jura mountains as you enter Swiss airspace.
