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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more consistent sequence of landmarks, including the departure views of Ibiza town, the iconic Barcelona skyline, a direct view of the high Pyrenees, and the volcanic terrain of central France.

Loire Valley

Glimpses of the winding Loire River and the historic chateaux dotting the French countryside.

Sit on the left for the best orientation during the climb out of Ibiza. On clear days, this side provides the best view of the Spanish coast. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you or to the left/front, so bring a window shade to manage glare during the northern segment of the flight.

Right Side Highlights
