PSAIBZ

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic 'finger' of Corsica (Cap Corse) and typically provides the best views of Ibiza's rugged northern coastline and the iconic Es Vedrà rock during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
📐

Pisa Coastline

The Migliarino San Rossore Park and the mouth of the Arno River immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Cap Corse

The dramatic, mountainous northern peninsula of Corsica with its jagged cliffs.

🌊

Gulf of Saint-Florent

Stunning turquoise waters and hidden white sand beaches on the western side of the Corsican tip.

🌅

Balearic Sea

Expansive sea views that become spectacular during golden hour and sunset.

🗿

Es Vedrà

The mystical and massive limestone rock formation rising 400m from the sea near Ibiza's coast.

This is the prime side for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the plane. The highlight is the passage over Cap Corse; ensure you are looking out about 15-20 minutes into the flight. If the plane approaches Ibiza from the west, you will get a perfect view of the Es Vedrà rock formation.

🏝️

Elba Island

The largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, famous for Napoleon's exile.

🏖️

Corsican East Coast

Long stretches of sandy lagoons and the coastal city of Bastia.

⛵

Formentera

Ibiza's smaller sister island visible during the final approach over the Mediterranean.

🏰

Dalt Vila

Views of Ibiza's historic UNESCO-listed old town walls when landing from the south.

Choose this side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is also the better side for spotting the smaller, uninhabited islands like Montecristo and Pianosa shortly after leaving the Italian coast.
