ORY → IBZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Paris-Orly Airport (Paris) to Ibiza Airport (Ibiza)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Pyrenees, the right side is superior for the approach into Ibiza, providing a breathtaking perspective of the Ebro Delta and the turquoise waters of Formentera and the Es Vedrà rock formation.
Loire Valley
Early views of the southern reaches of the Loire region, known for its historic estates.
Limousin Forests
Expansive green landscapes and rolling hills of the French countryside.
Ebro Delta
The distinctive 'bird's beak' shape of the Ebro River delta protruding into the Mediterranean.
Balearic Sea
Deep blue maritime vistas transitioning into shallow turquoise as you reach the islands.
Formentera
Ibiza's sister island, famous for its white sands and incredibly clear, shallow waters.
Es Vedrà
The mythical and massive limestone rock rising 400 meters out of the sea near the Ibiza coast.
Sit on the right for afternoon flights to enjoy spectacular sunset views over the Mediterranean. During the final 10 minutes of the flight, the right side usually offers the iconic view of the Ses Salines salt flats and the neighboring island of Formentera. Keep your camera ready as the plane turns for its final approach over the water.
Southern Paris Suburbs
Aerial views of the dense urban sprawl and the Seine river winding south of Orly.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic landscapes and craters of central France, including the Chaîne des Puys.
Eastern Pyrenees
Dramatic snow-capped peaks as the flight crosses the border from France into Spain.
Costa Brava
The rugged, rocky coastline and hidden coves of the northern Spanish Mediterranean shore.
Barcelona Skyline
Distant but clear views of the Sagrada Família and the unique Eixample district grid.
Tagomago Island
A glimpse of the rugged private island just off the northeastern tip of Ibiza during descent.
The left side is best for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. Look out approximately 45 minutes into the flight for the best mountain views. As you approach Ibiza, this side often sees the smaller surrounding islets of the Balearic archipelago.
