PIK → IBZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Glasgow Prestwick Airport (Prestwick) to Ibiza Airport (Ibiza)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a superior scenic experience, featuring the rugged islands of the Firth of Clyde immediately after takeoff, the stunning Atlantic coastline of France including the Dune du Pilat, and the iconic approach past Es Vedrà when arriving in Ibiza.
Isle of Arran
Unmatched views of 'Scotland in Miniature' and the granite peaks of Goatfell shortly after departure from PIK.
Snowdonia & Wales
Excellent views of the Welsh coastline and the rugged peaks of the Snowdonia National Park.
Dune du Pilat
Look out for the tallest sand dune in Europe on the French Atlantic coast near Bordeaux.
Western Pyrenees
Dramatic aerial views of the western end of the mountain range as you transition from France into Spain.
Es Vedrà
The legendary, monolithic limestone rock off the southwestern coast of Ibiza, often visible during the standard approach.
The right side is essential for seeing the most iconic natural landmarks. For the best view of the Dune du Pilat, ensure you are flying during daylight hours mid-flight. When approaching Ibiza, the right side frequently offers the famous view of the Es Vedrà rock formation just before touchdown.
Ayrshire Coastline
Clear views of the Scottish mainland and the southern reaches of the Firth of Clyde during the initial climb.
English Lake District
Distant views of the Cumbrian mountains and the North West of England as the flight heads south.
Midlands and SE England
The dense urban landscape of the English Midlands and occasionally the distant sprawl of Greater London.
Eastern Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing of the mountain range between France and Spain, often showing snow-capped peaks.
Costa Blanca
The Spanish Mediterranean coastline near Valencia comes into view as the aircraft begins its final descent.
Sit on the left for sunrise views on early morning flights. This side provides a better perspective of the inland Spanish landscape and the urban areas of central England and France. On the approach to Ibiza, you may get a view of Ibiza Town (Dalt Vila) depending on the landing direction.
