IBZ โ†’ LBA

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior departure view of Ibiza's historic Old Town (Dalt Vila) and the harbor, followed by expansive views of the French Atlantic coastline and the sprawling English Midlands during the descent into Yorkshire.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿฐ

Dalt Vila

An unbeatable aerial perspective of Ibiza's UNESCO-listed fortified old town and the luxury yacht marina.

๐Ÿšค

Mallorca & Menorca

Distant views of the other Balearic Islands shimmering in the Mediterranean during the initial climb.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท

French Atlantic Coast

Scenic views of the islands of Rรฉ and Olรฉron near La Rochelle as the flight tracks north.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Greater London

On clear days, the distant urban sprawl and iconic skyscrapers of London are visible to the east during the cruise.

๐Ÿ‘

Yorkshire Dales

Iconic patchwork fields and stone walls of the Yorkshire countryside just before landing at Leeds Bradford.

Sit on the right for the most iconic 'goodbye' to Ibiza Town. This side also typically avoids direct sunlight for most of the journey, making it better for photography. During the approach to LBA, you will have a better view of the city of Leeds if the wind is from the west (Runway 32).

Left Side Highlights
7.8
๐Ÿ๏ธ

Es Vedrร  & West Coast

Dramatic views of the mystical limestone rock island and the rugged western coves of Ibiza shortly after takeoff.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

The Pyrenees

A spectacular crossing of the high mountain range separating Spain and France, often featuring snow-capped peaks.

๐ŸŒŠ

Bay of Biscay

The transition from the Spanish Basque Country into the deep blue of the Atlantic ocean corridor.

๐ŸŒ‰

Bristol Channel

Entry into UK airspace often provides views of the Severn Estuary and the bridges connecting England and Wales.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

The Peak District

The rugged moorlands and green valleys of northern England as the aircraft begins its final descent sequence.

Choose this side for the best chance to see the Pyrenees and the sunset if flying in the evening. Be aware that the sun will be on this side for much of a mid-day flight, which can cause glare on the window.
