Which side of the plane to sit from Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille) to Ibiza Airport (Ibiza)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the French coastline including the Calanques after takeoff, followed by a superior angle of the Balearic archipelago and the eastern coast of Ibiza during descent.
Marseille Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Vieux-Port and the Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica immediately after departure.
Massif des Calanques
Stunning limestone cliffs and turquoise inlets stretching from Marseille toward Cassis.
Mallorca Coastline
Views of the rugged Serra de Tramuntana on Mallorca often visible in the distance during mid-flight.
Tagomago Island
A glimpse of the exclusive private island just off the northeast tip of Ibiza during the arrival sequence.
Dalt Vila
Bird's-eye view of Ibiza's historic fortified old town as the plane turns for its final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is particularly spectacular during the initial climb out of Marseille when the aircraft often banks over the Mediterranean, providing a full view of the French Riviera's gateway. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes before landing for the best shots of the Ibizan coastline.
Camargue Delta
The vast wetlands and pink salt pans of the Rhône delta visible shortly after takeoff.
Mediterranean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue sea, perfect for watching the sun track across the sky.
Sant Antoni Bay
Views of the bustling bay and famous sunset strip of San Antonio during western approaches.
Es Vedrà
The mystical and iconic rock formation rising from the sea, visible if the flight paths from the west.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. During departure, look out for the unique geography of the Côte Bleue. If the wind dictates an approach from the west, you will get an incredible view of the island's more rugged, pine-covered interior.
