IBZ β MXP
Which side of the plane to sit from Ibiza Airport (Ibiza) to Malpensa International Airport (Milano)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an exceptional aerial tour of the French Riviera and a front-row seat to the Western Alps and Lake Maggiore during the final approach into Malpensa.
Ibiza's West Coast
Aerial views of San Antonio Bay and the rugged limestone cliffs of the island's western perimeter immediately after departure.
CΓ΄te d'Azur
On many flight paths, the glamorous coastline of Cannes, Nice, and Monaco is visible as you cross the Mediterranean toward Italy.
The Western Alps
Breathtaking panoramas of the snow-capped Graian and Cottian Alps during the descent phase of the flight.
Lake Maggiore
Direct views of the lake's southern basin and the Borromean Islands just before the wheels touch down at MXP.
Gulf of Lion
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea where it meets the southern coast of France.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing (rows 1-10) for the most unobstructed views of the Alps. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the mountains and the lake perfectly for photography. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best Alpine peaks.
Dalt Vila
A stunning look at Ibiza's historic UNESCO-listed old town and the busy maritime port during the initial climb.
Formentera
Clear sightlines to the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of Ibiza's sister island to the south.
Corsica
The jagged, mountainous silhouette of the island of Corsica can often be spotted on the eastern horizon during mid-flight.
Genoa Port
Views of Italy's largest commercial seaport and the colorful Ligurian coastline as the plane turns inland.
Milan Skyline
On clear days, the distant skyscrapers of Milan's financial district can be seen emerging from the Po Valley haze.
The right side is excellent for early morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Tyrrhenian Sea. While you miss the direct view of Lake Maggiore, you get a broader perspective of the Italian mainland and the vastness of the Po Valley. Look for the Apennine Mountains stretching away to the south as you enter Italian airspace.
