LCY → IBZ
Which side of the plane to sit from London City Airport (London) to Ibiza Airport (Ibiza)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route as it typically offers a stunning panorama of the London skyline immediately after departure from LCY, followed by the most iconic approach into Ibiza overlooking the salt pans and Formentera.

London City Skyline
Exceptional views of the Shard, the Gherkin, and Canary Wharf skyscrapers during the initial climb.
Greenwich Meantime
A perfect overhead look at the Royal Observatory, Cutty Sark, and the National Maritime Museum.
Loire Valley
Gliding over the 'Garden of France' with its patchwork of vineyards and historic chateaus.
Costa Brava
The scenic transition from the Spanish mainland to the Mediterranean Sea near Barcelona.
Formentera & Ses Salines
The famous turquoise waters of Es Trenc and the white salt flats of Ibiza during the final descent.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of London. During the approach into Ibiza (IBZ), the right side is legendary for seeing the sister island Formentera. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind or above the aircraft, illuminating the Mediterranean beautifully.

Thames Estuary
Bird's eye view of the Thames Barrier and the expanding industrial heart of the river's mouth.
The English Channel
Spotting large cargo ships and ferries crossing one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.
Central Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the high altitude peaks and glacial valleys marking the border between France and Spain.
Northern Ibiza Coastline
The rugged, less-developed cliffs and secluded turquoise coves of Portinatx and Cala San Vicente.
Sit on the left if you want the most direct views of the Pyrenees' highest peaks. On clear days, you may even spot the distant outlines of the Alps far to the east during the French transit. Morning flights provide the best lighting on this side without harsh glare.
