IBZFMO

Which side of the plane to sit from Ibiza Airport (Ibiza) to Münster Osnabrück Airport (Munster)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of Ibiza's Dalt Vila upon departure, better potential sightings of the Pyrenees across the Gulf of Lion, and the best lighting for afternoon or evening flights.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Ibiza Old Town

Aerial view of Dalt Vila and the historic harbor immediately after takeoff from Runway 06.

🏔️

Pyrenees Silhouette

On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees are visible to the west as you cross the French coastline.

🌋

Massif Central

The dramatic volcanic landscapes and rugged plateaus of south-central France.

🗼

Paris Distant View

Depending on the specific airway, the Eiffel Tower and Parisian sprawl may be visible on the horizon.

🚜

Münsterland Plains

The characteristic patchwork of green fields and traditional Westphalian farmsteads during descent.

Sit on the left for the best morning light and to avoid direct glare in the afternoon. On departure from IBZ, request a window seat away from the wing to capture the iconic view of the citadel. During the mid-flight over France, keep an eye out for the distinct conical shapes of the Puy de Dôme region.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🏝️

Mallorca

A distant view of Ibiza's larger neighbor, Mallorca, appearing shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

🦩

Camargue Delta

The vast salt marshes and unique wetlands where the Rhône River meets the Mediterranean.

🍇

Rhône Valley

Views of the winding river and the famous vineyards of the Hermitage and Châteauneuf-du-Pape regions.

🚢

Rhine River

The industrial heart of Europe, with the Rhine winding through the North Rhine-Westphalia region.

🌳

Teutoburg Forest

The long, forested ridges that define the landscape just south of Münster Osnabrück Airport.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sun reflecting off the Mediterranean and the Rhône. Watch for the sprawling urban landscapes of the Ruhr area (Cologne, Düsseldorf) as you enter German airspace. During winter, this side often provides a distant but beautiful view of the Alps to the southeast.
