Which side of the plane to sit from Ibiza Airport (Ibiza) to Valencia Airport (Valencia)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the approach into Valencia, showcasing the vast Albufera lagoon and the iconic modern skyline of the City of Arts and Sciences.
Ibiza's West Coast
Dramatic views of the turquoise coves and rocky outcrops of Ibiza immediately following takeoff.
L'Albufera Lagoon
A massive freshwater lake and protected wetland south of Valencia, famous for its rice fields.
City of Arts and Sciences
Spot the striking white futuristic architecture of Santiago Calatrava as the plane lines up with the runway.
Valencia City Center
Clear views of the dense urban grid and historic cathedral towers during the final descent phase.
Choose a window seat on the left for flights arriving in the late afternoon; the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Albufera wetlands and the city's modern architecture perfectly. During departure from Ibiza, keep an eye out for the mysterious rock of Es Vedrà to the southwest.
North Ibiza Shoreline
The rugged and greener northern cliffs of the island as you head out over the Balearic Sea.
Balearic Sea
Deep blue Mediterranean vistas during the short mid-flight cruise segment.
Malvarrosa Beach
Valencia's expansive city beach and the northern residential coastal strips.
Sierra Calderona
The mountainous silhouette of the natural park visible in the distance to the north of the city.
The right side is best for morning flights to avoid the glare of the Mediterranean sun. It offers a great perspective of the northern coastline and the Port of Valencia's massive shipping infrastructure if the wind dictates an approach from the north.
