IBZ → LHR
Which side of the plane to sit from Ibiza Airport (Ibiza) to London Heathrow Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the clear winner, primarily for the legendary arrival into London. On most days, planes approach Heathrow from the east, providing passengers on the left with a front-row seat to the entire Central London skyline, including the Shard and Big Ben.

Ibiza Old Town
Aerial views of the historic Dalt Vila fortress and the Ibiza harbor immediately after takeoff.
Central Pyrenees
Stunning views of the highest peaks of the mountain range as you cross the border from Spain into France.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and the famous chateaux of central France are often visible mid-flight.
English Channel
Crossing the coastline near Dieppe or Le Havre before heading over the water toward the UK.
Central London Skyline
The ultimate highlight: The London Eye, Tower Bridge, and the City skyscrapers during the Heathrow approach.
For the best experience, choose a window seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the French landscape and the London skyline perfectly. Ensure you stay alert during the final 15 minutes of the flight; if the pilot announces a 'Westerly' landing, the view of London's landmarks is world-class.

Formentera Views
Glimpses of the turquoise waters and white sands of Ibiza's sister island during the initial climb.

Bordeaux Vineyards

Port of Southampton
Depending on the arrival route, you may see the busy shipping lanes and cruise terminals of the UK's south coast.
Windsor Castle
During the final seconds of the descent into Heathrow, the historic royal residence is clearly visible on the right.
The right side offers great views of the Mediterranean sun reflecting off the water during departure. It is also the superior side for seeing Windsor Castle just before landing. If you are flying in the late afternoon, the right side will experience direct sunlight, so keep your window blind handy if it gets too warm.
