Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the French Alps on the horizon and the stunning Mediterranean coastline of southern France before arriving over the turquoise waters of the Balearics.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Luxembourg City

Aerial views of the historic Alzette valley and the 'Gibraltar of the North' fortifications shortly after departure.

🏔️

French Alps

Distant but majestic views of the snow-capped Alpine peaks on the eastern horizon while cruising over central France.

🏙️

Rhône Valley

The winding Rhône river and the urban sprawl of Lyon, France's gastronomic capital, visible from high altitude.

🌊

Camargue Wetlands

The unique salt pans and marshes of the Rhône delta where the river meets the Mediterranean Sea.

🏖️

Ibiza East Coast

Breathtaking views of Santa Eulària and the crystal-clear coves of the island's eastern shoreline during descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and maximize visibility of the distant Alps. During the final descent, look for the contrast between the deep Mediterranean blue and the white sand of the hidden 'Calas'. This side typically offers a more scenic entry into the Balearic airspace.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌳

Lorraine Regional Park

Vast stretches of lush French forests and rural landscapes immediately following the climb out of Luxembourg.

⛰️

Massif Central

The rugged volcanic plateaus and ancient peaks of central France passing underneath the aircraft.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

In clear weather, the high peaks of the Spanish-French border are visible far to the southwest as you approach the sea.

⛵

Dalt Vila

The UNESCO-listed medieval walls of Ibiza's old town often visible during the final banking turn for landing.

🏝️

Formentera

Views of Ibiza's sister island and the narrow 'Es Freus' strait just before touchdown if approaching from the south.

The right side is perfect for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over mainland Spain. Keep an eye out for the mysterious rock of Es Vedrà if the flight path takes a wide turn around the southern tip of the island. It is also the best side for seeing the historic architecture of Ibiza Town during specific wind-dependent landing patterns.
