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

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic views of the Pyrenees mountain range and the iconic rugged coastline of Ibiza during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🍷

Champagne Region

The orderly patterns of French vineyards stretching across the landscape of north-central France.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

A spectacular crossing of the high mountain border between France and Spain, often snow-capped until early summer.

🏙️

Barcelona & Costa Brava

Aerial perspective of the Catalan coastline and the dense urban grid of Barcelona as you head out to sea.

🏝️

Northern Ibiza Cliffs

The dramatic, rocky northern coastline of Ibiza comes into focus as the aircraft begins its final descent.

⛰️

Es Vedrà

Depending on the wind and approach path to Runway 06, the mystical rock formation of Es Vedrà may be visible to the west.

The right side is superior for the Pyrenees crossing, which is the flight's scenic peak. To capture the best photos of the Ibiza coastline, a morning flight is ideal to have the sun behind you. If the plane lands from the southwest (Runway 06), the right side offers views of the island's hidden coves.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🌾

Lower Rhine Valley

Aerial views of the fertile plains and winding river landscapes near the German-Dutch border immediately after takeoff.

🌳

Ardennes Forest

The dense, rolling green hills of the Ardennes region as the flight crosses from Belgium into France.

🌋

Massif Central

Visible in the distance to the east, the unique volcanic plateaus of central France provide a textured landscape.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

A stunning transition from the French coastline into the deep turquoise of the Mediterranean Sea near Montpellier.

🛳️

Balearic Sea

Clear views of the Mediterranean shipping lanes and the distant silhouette of Mallorca on the eastern horizon.

Sit on the left for a glare-free view during afternoon flights. Keep an eye out for the French coastline as you leave the mainland; on clear days, you might spot the distant peaks of the Alps far to the east before turning south toward the islands.
