Which side of the plane to sit from Ibiza Airport (Ibiza) to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Pyrenees mountain range and the unique volcanic landscapes of the Massif Central in France.
Ibiza North Coast
Dramatic views of the rugged northern cliffs and the deep turquoise waters of the San Juan area during the initial climb.
Montserrat
The iconic jagged, saw-toothed mountain peaks near Barcelona are often visible to the west shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
Central Pyrenees
Breathtaking aerial perspectives of the highest snow-capped peaks separating Spain and France, including Aneto.
Chaîne des Puys
A UNESCO-listed chain of dormant volcanic craters near Clermont-Ferrand, clearly visible in central France.
Loire Valley
Views of the winding Loire River and glimpses of the historic chateaus that dot the central French landscape.
Paris Distance View
On very clear days, the Eiffel Tower and the skyline of La Défense can be spotted on the horizon during the northern descent.
Book a morning flight to have the sun positioned to the east, perfectly illuminating the Pyrenees and the volcanic craters of France. In winter months, the snow cover on the Massif Central makes the volcanic topography stand out with incredible contrast. Keep your camera ready about 35 minutes after takeoff for the Pyrenees crossing.
Balearic Sea
Expansive deep blue Mediterranean vistas between the Balearic Islands and the Spanish mainland.
Barcelona Skyline
Excellent views of the city's unique Eixample grid layout, the busy harbor, and the spires of the Sagrada Família.
Costa Brava
The winding, rocky coastline of northeastern Spain with its hidden coves and picturesque coastal towns.
Distant French Alps
Depending on atmospheric clarity, the majestic, sharp peaks of the Alps can be seen far to the east.
Champagne Vineyards
The rolling hills and orderly green vineyard rows of France's famous sparkling wine region near Reims.
Ardennes Forest
Dense green woodland and rolling hills as the flight crosses from France into the Wallonia region of Belgium.
The right side is ideal for capturing the urban sprawl of Barcelona shortly after departure. If you are on a late afternoon flight, the 'golden hour' light often catches the distant Alpine peaks to the east, making them glow. During the final approach into Charleroi, look for the historic industrial infrastructure and canals of the Sambre valley.
