NCL → IBZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Newcastle Airport (Newcastle) to Ibiza Airport (Ibiza)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the English south coast, the famous wine regions of Bordeaux, the western Pyrenees, and the stunning Mediterranean coastline during the approach to Ibiza.
Durham Cathedral
If taking off to the south, look for the iconic UNESCO World Heritage site standing above the River Wear.
English Channel
Excellent vantage point for spotting shipping lanes and the dramatic coastline of the Isle of Wight.
Bordeaux Region
Fly over the sprawling vineyards and the Garonne river in southwestern France.
Western Pyrenees
View the transition from the Bay of Biscay to the rugged mountain range border.
Es Vedrà
The mystical limestone rock island is often visible on the final approach into IBZ airport.
The right side is unbeatable for evening flights, offering spectacular sunsets over the Bay of Biscay. During the descent, keep your camera ready for Es Vedrà, which is one of the most photographed landmarks in the Balearics. Choose a seat away from the wing for the clearest view of the French Atlantic coast.
Northeast Coastline
Aerial views of the North Sea and the rugged coastal edges of County Durham shortly after takeoff.
Loire Valley
The historic heart of France, featuring the winding Loire River and glimpses of grand chateaus.
Eastern Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the higher peaks and glacial valleys as the flight enters Spanish airspace.
Barcelona Proximity
Depending on the ATC corridor, you may see the distant glow or grid of the Catalan capital.
Ibiza Town
Views of Dalt Vila and the harbor area if the plane approaches from the northeast.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the snow-capped Pyrenees peaks approximately 2 hours into the flight. If the plane circles for landing, you may get a clear view of the neighboring island of Formentera.
