IBZ → PMI
Which side of the plane to sit from Ibiza Airport (Ibiza) to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is superior as it typically offers a direct view of the historic Ibiza Town (Dalt Vila) during takeoff and the iconic Palma Cathedral and city center during the final approach into Mallorca.
Dalt Vila & Ibiza Harbor
A stunning aerial perspective of the UNESCO-listed historic fortress and the bustling marina of Ibiza Town immediately after departure.
Talamanca Bay
Views of the crescent-shaped bay and the turquoise waters of the northeastern Ibiza coastline as the plane climbs.
Serra de Tramuntana
The rugged, UNESCO-protected mountain range on Mallorca's west coast comes into view during the descent.
Palma Cathedral (La Seu)
On the standard approach to Runway 06L/R, the left side provides an unbeatable view of the massive Gothic cathedral standing over the bay.
Palma City Skyline
A comprehensive view of the Balearic capital's urban landscape, including the Castell de Bellver on the hillside.
Sit on the left for the most cinematic entry into Palma. For morning flights, this side avoids the direct southern sun glare. Keep your camera ready within the first 3 minutes of takeoff and the last 5 minutes of the flight to capture the most iconic landmarks.
Ses Salines Natural Park
The geometric patterns of the ancient salt pans and the white sands of Playa d'en Bossa during the initial ascent.
Formentera Vistas
Panoramic views of Ibiza's sister island, Formentera, and the narrow 'Es Freus' strait separating the two.
Balearic Sea Crossing
Clear views of the deep blue Mediterranean and occasional glimpses of smaller islets like Tagomago.
Bay of Palma
A wide-angle view of the vast bay, often dotted with cruise ships and luxury yachts approaching the harbor.
Platja de Palma
The long, sandy stretch of S'Arenal and Can Pastilla just seconds before touchdown at PMI.
The right side is excellent for seeing the natural geography of the Pityusic Islands. If the flight is late in the afternoon, you may catch a beautiful golden glow over the Mediterranean. It is the better choice for those wanting to see the salt pans and the neighboring island of Formentera.
