Which side of the plane to sit from Ibiza Airport (Ibiza) to Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular panoramic views of the French coastline, the meandering Rhône river, and distant glimpses of the snow-capped Alps, followed by a scenic approach over the Rhine valley.

Right Side Highlights

🏖️

Formentera Vistas

Stunning views of the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of the neighboring Balearic island shortly after takeoff.

🦩

Camargue Wetlands

The unique salt pans and lagoons of the Rhône delta, known for its pink hues and wild horses.

🏔️

Distant French Alps

On clear days, Mont Blanc and the high Alpine ridges are visible on the eastern horizon while cruising over France.

🍇

Moselle Valley

The iconic winding loops of the Moselle river and the steep, vineyard-covered hillsides of German wine country.

⛪

Cologne Cathedral

Look for the twin spires of the Kölner Dom and the Rhine river bridges as the plane descends towards Düsseldorf.

Choose the right side for potential sightings of the Alps in the distance. This side is also superior for observing the major river systems of Europe. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you on this side, providing perfect lighting for photography without glare.
