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

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the Balearic islands shortly after takeoff, followed by a stunning sweep across the French Riviera and a breathtaking crossing of the high Alpine peaks before descending over the Bavarian lake district.

Right Side Highlights

Mallorca Aerials

A close-up view of the larger Balearic neighbor shortly after climbing out from Ibiza.

🛥️

Côte d'Azur

Spectacular views of the French coastline, including the luxury harbors of Nice and Monaco.

🏔️

Alpine Ridge

A direct crossing of the high Alps, offering views of the jagged, snow-capped peaks of Switzerland and Austria.

🌊

Bavarian Lake District

Glittering views of Lake Starnberg and Ammersee during the descent into Munich.

🏙️

Munich Skyline

The iconic red roofs and twin towers of the Frauenkirche are often visible on the right during the final approach.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the French Riviera. It offers the best perspective of the Bavarian lakes and the Munich city center during the landing sequence. In winter, the snow-covered Alps are particularly dramatic from this side.
