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

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the Mediterranean coastline, including a potential view of the Barcelona skyline and the highest peaks of the Pyrenees, followed by the industrial beauty of the Rhine-Ruhr area.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏰

Dalt Vila

Ibiza's fortified old town and harbor area, providing a final glimpse of the island's UNESCO World Heritage architecture.

🏖️

Costa Brava

The rugged 'Wild Coast' of Catalonia, where the mountains meet the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean.

🏔️

Aneto Peak

The highest point in the Pyrenees at 3,404 meters, often capped with snow even in late spring or early summer.

🌋

Massif Central

The prehistoric volcanic landscape of south-central France, featuring the Chaîne des Puys dormant volcanic domes.

🛳️

The Rhine River

One of Europe's most important shipping arteries, winding through the industrial and green landscapes of Western Germany.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise reflecting off the Mediterranean. It offers the best chance to spot the Barcelona coast and the highest Pyrenean peaks. During the descent, look for the dense urban sprawl and bright lights of the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region if landing at night.

🪨

Es Vedrà

The mystical and iconic limestone rock formation standing 400 meters tall off the southwest coast of Ibiza visible shortly after takeoff.

🌾

Ebro Delta

One of the largest wetlands in the Mediterranean region, recognizable by its unique 'bird-beak' shape protruding into the sea.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

Stunning views of the rugged mountain border between Spain and France, featuring deep glacial valleys and limestone cliffs.

🏰

Loire Valley

The 'Garden of France' area known for its historic chateaux and the winding silver ribbon of the Loire River.

🌊

Maas River

The intricate network of waterways and polders near the Dutch-German border as the flight descends toward Weeze.

Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Bay of Biscay in the far distance. It is also the best side to see the legendary rock of Es Vedrà if the aircraft departs towards the west. Watch the Ebro Delta roughly 20 to 25 minutes after departure.
