Which side of the plane to sit from Ibiza Airport (Ibiza) to Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a superior vantage point for the Mediterranean coastline, including a spectacular view of Barcelona and the Pyrenees, followed by the best perspective of the Berlin city center during the final approach.
Barcelona Skyline
A clear view of the Eixample grid pattern, Sagrada FamΓlia, and the bustling city harbor.
Eastern Pyrenees
Where the mountains meet the sea near the Gulf of Lion, providing a stark contrast of blue and granite.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped Swiss Alps are visible on the far eastern horizon over France.
Black Forest
Dense, dark evergreen canopies covering the rolling hills of southwestern Germany.
Berlin Fernsehturm
The iconic TV Tower and city landmarks are often visible on the right during the classic approach to Tegel.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'City Approach' if the wind is from the west. Morning flights provide excellent front-lighting for the Spanish coast. If flying in winter, the contrast of the snow-covered mountains is particularly striking from this side.
Ses Salines
View of the sparkling salt flats and turquoise waters on the southern tip of Ibiza during takeoff.
Ebro Delta
The unique bird-foot shape of the Ebro River delta as it extends into the Mediterranean Sea.
Central Pyrenees
Rugged, high-altitude peaks of the mountain range separating Spain and France.
Auvergne Volcanoes
Ancient dormant volcanic domes of the Massif Central region in central France.
Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine river featuring historic castles and terraced vineyards in western Germany.
Sit on the left for sunset views on late afternoon flights. Keep an eye out for the Harz Mountains as you begin your descent into the Brandenburg region. This side is typically calmer with less direct glare during morning departures.
