MUCIBZ

Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Ibiza Airport (Ibiza)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panorama of the Central Alps, direct views of the Swiss and French lakes, and the most dramatic approach into Ibiza with views of neighboring Mallorca.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

The High Alps

Breathtaking views of the Tyrolean and Swiss Alpine peaks shortly after departure from Munich.

💧

Lake Geneva

The iconic crescent-shaped lake and the city of Geneva visible as you transition into French airspace.

🍇

Rhone Valley Vineyards

Lush green corridors of the famous French wine regions and the winding Rhone River.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

The deep blue expanse of the Mediterranean Sea as the aircraft leaves the French mainland.

🏖️

Mallorca Coastline

Detailed views of the northern cliffs and turquoise bays of Mallorca during the initial descent.

🏰

Ibiza Old Town

The historic Dalt Vila fortress is often visible on the left side during the final turn for landing.

For the most vivid colors, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you when viewing the Alps. Sit well clear of the wing (rows 1-10 or 22+) to ensure an unobstructed view of the rugged Mediterranean coastline and the Balearic archipelago.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Mont Blanc

Western Europe's highest peak is often visible in the distance across the Alpine horizon.

🏜️

Gorges de l'Ardèche

The dramatic limestone canyons and natural arches of the Ardèche region in southern France.

🦩

Camargue Wetlands

The unique pink salt pans and marshlands of the Rhone delta near the Mediterranean coast.

📐

The Pyrenees

On clear days, the jagged peaks of the Spanish-French border are visible far to the west.

⛰️

Es Vedrà

The mystical and monolithic rock island rising from the sea, visible if the approach comes from the southwest.

🏝️

Formentera

Ibiza's smaller sister island with its famous white sand beaches visible just before touchdown.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the French coast. Look for the distinct change from the green Massif Central to the arid landscapes of the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready for the iconic Es Vedrà rock during the final descent phase.
