IBZ β†’ TXL

Which side of the plane to sit from Ibiza Airport (Ibiza) to Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ™οΈ

Barcelona Skyline

A clear view of the Eixample grid pattern, Sagrada FamΓ­lia, and the bustling city harbor.

πŸ”οΈ

Eastern Pyrenees

Where the mountains meet the sea near the Gulf of Lion, providing a stark contrast of blue and granite.

πŸ”οΈ

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.

πŸ—Ό

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.

Left Side Highlights

πŸ–οΈ

Ses Salines

View of the sparkling salt flats and turquoise waters on the southern tip of Ibiza during takeoff.

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.
