Which side of the plane to sit from Ibiza Airport (Ibiza) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a stunning vantage point of the Spanish coastline, featuring the architectural sprawl of Barcelona and the jagged cliffs of the Costa Brava before touchdown.
Dalt Vila
Aerial views of the UNESCO-listed historic old town and fortress of Ibiza shortly after takeoff.
Formentera
Distant views of the turquoise waters and white sands of Ibiza's smaller neighbor to the south.
Barcelona Skyline
A breathtaking panorama of the city, including the Sagrada Familia and the distinct Eixample grid system.
Costa Brava
The dramatic 'Brave Coast' appears with its hidden coves and rocky inlets as you approach Girona.
Montseny Massif
The lush, green mountains of the Montseny Natural Park provide a scenic backdrop during the final approach.
The right side is significantly more scenic for coastal enthusiasts. Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Barcelona coastline and the turquoise waters of the Costa Brava. During the descent into Girona, watch for the Gavarres hills and the Mediterranean shoreline merging.
Ibiza West Coast
Views of the rugged northwestern cliffs of Ibiza and the bay of Sant Antoni de Portmany during initial climb.
Balearic Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean crossing between the islands and the mainland.
Montserrat
The iconic multi-peaked serrated mountain range located inland from Barcelona is visible on clear days.
The Pyrenees
As the plane descends toward Girona, the high peaks of the eastern Pyrenees are visible on the far northern horizon.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the Montserrat mountain range to the west. Keep an eye out for the Ebro Delta further south if the flight path tracks slightly inland.
