IBZ β†’ NUE

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

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic perspective of the high Alpine peaks and the sprawling coastline of the French Riviera and Lake Constance.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

Mallorca Coastline

Distant views of the rugged northern cliffs of Mallorca as you climb to cruising altitude.

⛴️

Marseille & The Calanques

The white limestone cliffs and turquoise waters of the French coast near the Port of Marseille.

πŸ”οΈ

High Alpine Peaks

Breathtaking panoramas of the highest peaks in Europe, including the Mont Blanc massif and the Swiss 4000ers.

β›΅

Lake Constance

The massive 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, often shimmering in the sunlight.

πŸ₯¨

Bavarian Heartland

The patchwork of farms and traditional villages as the plane prepares for landing at Nuremberg.

The right side is superior for the 'Alps experience.' To see the snow-capped peaks in their best light, book a morning or midday flight. Look out for the Danube river shortly after passing Lake Constance. Note that seasonal clouds over the Alps can sometimes obscure the view in winter, so check the weather forecast for the Geneva/Zurich sector.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏰

Dalt Vila

A stunning aerial view of Ibiza's historic UNESCO World Heritage old town immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

The vast blue expanse of the Mediterranean as you transition from the Balearic Sea toward mainland Europe.

πŸ’§

Lake Geneva

The distinctive crescent shape of Lac LΓ©man on the border between France and Switzerland.

🌲

Black Forest

The dense, rolling green canopy of the Schwarzwald as the flight enters German airspace.

πŸ™οΈ

Stuttgart Cityscape

Views of the metropolitan area and the Neckar river valley during the early stages of descent.

Choose the left side for the best departure views of Ibiza's harbor. This side is also preferable for evening flights as it avoids the direct glare of the setting sun over the Mediterranean and the Alps, providing softer light for photography of the Swiss Jura mountains.
