IBZ → STR
Which side of the plane to sit from Ibiza Airport (Ibiza) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the majestic snow-capped peaks of the French and Swiss Alps, along with the stunning blue waters of the Mediterranean and the crescent shape of Lake Geneva.
Formentera
If departing south before turning north, catch a glimpse of the crystal-clear turquoise waters of the neighboring island.
The High Alps
Spectacular panoramic views of the French and Swiss Alps, often including the Mont Blanc massif on clear days.
Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of Lac Léman nestled between the mountains and the Jura plateau.
Jura Mountains
Detailed views of the ridged limestone mountain range marking the border between France and Switzerland.
Lake Constance
A potential view of the Bodensee near the tri-border area of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Stuttgart TV Tower
The iconic Fernsehturm Stuttgart usually becomes visible on the right during the base leg of the landing pattern.
This is the 'Alps side.' To avoid heavy sun glare, book this side for late afternoon or evening flights. The most critical viewing window is roughly 50-70 minutes into the flight when crossing from the Mediterranean toward the Swiss border.
Ibiza North Coast
Dramatic views of the rugged cliffs and secluded coves as the plane climbs away from the island.
Gulf of Lion
Expansive views of the Mediterranean horizon and the coastal lagoons near Montpellier.
Massif Central
Ancient volcanic plateaus and rolling green highlands of central France visible in the distance.
Lyon Metropole
The confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers if the flight path tracks slightly west.
The Black Forest
Dense evergreen forests of the Schwarzwald region as you begin the final descent into Germany.
Sit here if you prefer views of the French interior. Morning flights on this side avoid the direct sun. During descent into STR, look for the Neckar River valley and the vineyards surrounding the city.
