Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer excellent views, the Right Side is slightly superior due to the potential for spotting the Welsh mountains on departure, the dramatic French Atlantic coastline, and the iconic Es Vedrà rock formation during the approach to Ibiza.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Snowdonia National Park

On a clear day, look west after takeoff to see the rugged peaks of North Wales and the Snowdonia mountain range.

🏖️

French Atlantic Coast

Stunning views of the Bay of Biscay, including the islands of Ré and Oléron and the sandy beaches of the Charente-Maritime.

🍷

Bordeaux Vineyards

Fly over the world-famous wine regions of Bordeaux and the Garonne river before heading toward the Spanish border.

🪨

Es Vedrà

The legendary and 'magnetic' limestone rock formation rising 400 meters from the sea, often visible during the standard approach to Runway 06.

The right side is prime for the approach into Ibiza Airport; if landing from the west, you will get a perfect view of the rugged west coast and Es Vedrà. This side also avoids direct afternoon sun for most of the journey, making for better photography of the French coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Liverpool City & Mersey

Immediate views of Liverpool's skyline, the historic docks, and the Anfield and Goodison Park stadiums right after takeoff.

🏰

Loire Valley

As you cruise over central France, look down for the winding Loire River and the numerous historic chateaus dotting the landscape.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

A spectacular crossing of the snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range as the plane enters Spanish airspace.

🌊

Balearic Sea

Crystal clear turquoise waters and the distant silhouette of Formentera as the plane begins its final descent into Ibiza.

Sit on the left for the best views of Liverpool's city center during departure. During the day, the sun will be on this side for most of the southbound flight, so keep your window shade ready. On arrival, you may catch a glimpse of Ibiza Town's Dalt Vila if the plane circles from the east.
