Which side of the plane to sit from London Gatwick Airport (London) to Ibiza Airport (Ibiza)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Pyrenees mountain range and the iconic approach past the mystical Es Vedrà rock formation before landing.
Bay of Biscay
Views of the French Atlantic coastline and the deep blue waters of the bay to the west.
Central Pyrenees
A stunning perspective of the highest peaks in the Pyrenean range, often snow-capped.
Valencia Coast
The transition from the Spanish mainland to the sea, often passing near the vibrant city of Valencia.
Es Vedrà
The legendary and mystical limestone rock formation rising dramatically from the sea near Ibiza's southwest coast.
Cala d'Hort
Bird's-eye view of the beautiful turquoise coves as the plane prepares for touchdown.
The right side is ideal for afternoon and evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready as you approach the island, as the plane often banks right, providing a perfect frame of the iconic Es Vedrà rock.
South Downs
Lush rolling hills and the English coastline immediately after departure from Gatwick.
Loire Valley
Glancing views of the winding Loire River and French countryside as you head south.
Eastern Pyrenees
Impressive views of the rugged peaks and valleys as the flight crosses from France into Spain.
Balearic Sea
The vast turquoise waters of the Mediterranean as you leave the Spanish mainland coast.
Dalt Vila
Excellent views of Ibiza's historic UNESCO-listed old town and harbour during the final approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is particularly good for spotting Ibiza Town's medieval fortifications if the aircraft approaches from the north or east.
