IBZ → LPL
Which side of the plane to sit from Ibiza Airport (Ibiza) to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior departure view of Ibiza Town and the neighboring island of Formentera, followed by a dramatic crossing of the high Pyrenees and a scenic descent over the Mersey estuary.
Dalt Vila & Formentera
A stunning aerial perspective of Ibiza's historic walled old town and the turquoise waters surrounding Formentera.
Central Pyrenees
Direct views of the highest peaks in the Pyrenees mountain range, often snow-capped even into early summer.
Loire Valley
Look down over central France to spot the winding Loire River and the dense forests of the surrounding countryside.
Peak District
The green hills and moorlands of Northern England provide a beautiful backdrop as the aircraft begins its final descent.
The Mersey & Three Graces
A spectacular view of the Liverpool skyline, the Liver Building, and the docks as you fly over the river to land.
The right side is highly recommended for the Mersey approach into Liverpool, which is one of the most scenic urban landings in the UK. For the best lighting, book a late afternoon flight to see the Pyrenees bathed in golden hour light.
Es Vedrà
The mysterious and iconic limestone rock formation off the southwest coast of Ibiza is often visible shortly after takeoff.
Ebro Delta
As you reach mainland Spain, look for the unique bird-foot shape of this massive wetland protruding into the Mediterranean.
Bay of Biscay
Wide panoramic views of the French Atlantic coastline, including the islands of Oléron and Ré near La Rochelle.
Snowdonia National Park
On clear days during the descent, the rugged peaks of North Wales are visible across the Irish Sea.
New Brighton
A clear view of the Wirral Peninsula's coastline and the lighthouse as the plane aligns with the runway.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the 'magic' rock of Es Vedrà if the wind necessitates a southern takeoff. This side also provides better views of the Welsh coastline during the final minutes of the flight.
