PAD → IBZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Paderborn Lippstadt Airport (Paderborn) to Ibiza Airport (Ibiza)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the Pyrenees mountains and the scenic descent along the Spanish Mediterranean coastline towards the Balearic Islands.
Massif Central
Rugged volcanic landscapes and deep valleys of south-central France provide a textured terrain view.
The Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing of the snow-capped border between France and Spain with jagged limestone peaks.
Costa Brava
The turquoise waters and rugged cliffs of the Catalan coastline near Girona and Barcelona.
Ibiza Northern Coast
Breathtaking views of Es Vedrà and the northern coves of Ibiza as the plane lines up for landing.
Formentera Horizon
The smaller sister island of Formentera is often visible across the sparkling sea during the final turn.
For the most dramatic experience, sit on the right side. On the approach to Ibiza, the aircraft often flies south past the island before turning back; this provides a full panoramic view of the island's coastline. Sunset flights on this side are particularly stunning but be prepared for some glare.
Teutoburg Forest
Initial views of the dense forested ridges of the low mountain range in Northwest Germany.
Burgundy Region
Aerial perspective of the rolling vineyards and historic estates of central eastern France.
Gulf of Lion
Wide vistas of the Mediterranean horizon as the aircraft leaves mainland Europe.
Mallorca View
Distant silhouettes of the neighboring Balearic island of Mallorca during the final descent phase.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the soft illumination of the French countryside. Keep an eye out for the distant peaks of the French Alps on exceptionally clear days during the mid-flight segment.
