IBZHAJ

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, featuring distant views of the snow-capped Alps, the Jura Mountains, and the striking Harz range during the descent into Germany.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Formentera Island

A clear view of the turquoise waters and white sands of Ibiza's sister island during the initial climb.

🏔️

The French Alps

Breathtaking distant silhouettes of the Western Alps, including potential sightings of Mont Blanc on clear days.

⛰️

Jura Mountains

The rugged limestone ridges of the Jura range forming the border between France and Switzerland.

🌲

The Harz Mountains

Dark evergreen forests and the prominent Brocken peak visible during the descent phase into Hannover.

🛶

Steinhuder Meer

Northwest Germany's largest inland lake, often visible during the final approach patterns into HAJ.

The right side is essential for mountain lovers; the distant view of the Alps is a major highlight. For evening flights, you may catch a beautiful reflection of the sunset on the wing and the clouds to the west, but sit here primarily for the geographic landmarks.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏰

Dalt Vila Ibiza

Panoramic views of the historic UNESCO-listed old town and the busy ferry port immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

The vast blue expanse of the Mediterranean as the flight approaches the southern coast of France.

🏙️

Lyon Metropolitan Area

Vibrant urban views of France's third-largest city and the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers.

🍷

Burgundy Vineyards

A patchwork of world-famous vineyards and rolling hills stretching across the Cote d'Or region.

🌲

Weser Uplands

Lush green hills and river valleys of the Weserbergland as the flight enters Northern Germany.

Choose the left side for better views of the Ibiza coastline upon departure. During the day, this side experiences less direct sun glare on northbound flights, making it ideal for photography of the French countryside.
