Which side of the plane to sit from Palma De Mallorca Airport (Palma de Mallorca) to Ibiza Airport (Ibiza)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular departure view of the Palma Cathedral and the Bay of Palma, followed by a high probability of spotting the iconic Es Vedra rock formation upon arrival in Ibiza.
La Seu Cathedral
The massive Gothic cathedral of Palma is often visible immediately after takeoff if departing to the southwest.
Sa Dragonera
The dragon-shaped uninhabited island off the westernmost point of Mallorca.
Es Vedrà
The mystical and magnetic limestone rock rising 400 meters from the sea off Ibiza's west coast.
Dalt Vila
The UNESCO World Heritage fortified old town of Ibiza, visible as the plane aligns with the runway.
The right side is superior for landmarks. Ensure you are looking out shortly after takeoff to see the Palma city skyline. During the golden hour (sunset), the limestone cliffs of Es Vedra glow orange, making this the best time for photography. Be aware that the flight is very short (approx. 25-40 mins), so stay alert from takeoff to landing.
Bay of Palma
Expansive views of the Mediterranean coastline and the bustling harbor as you depart Mallorca.
Cabrera Archipelago
Views of the protected national park islands situated off the southern coast of Mallorca.
Formentera
Ibiza's sister island with its famous turquoise waters and white sand beaches visible to the south on approach.
Ses Salines
The shimmering salt flats of Ibiza, reflecting the sunlight in shades of pink and silver during descent.
Sit on the left for the best views of the turquoise waters of Formentera during the descent. This is particularly striking during the mid-day sun when the water clarity is most visible. If the flight approaches from the south, you'll get a direct look at the 'S'Espalmador' sandbar.
