Immediately after takeoff from Southend, witness the industrial beauty and shipping lanes of the Thames Estuary.
French Atlantic Coast
Expansive views of the Bay of Biscay and the rugged coastlines of Brittany and the Vendée region.
Western Pyrenees
A dramatic crossing of the western end of the Pyrenees, often showing more verdant, rolling mountain landscapes.
Spanish Levante Coast
The flight often tracks the coastline near Valencia, offering views of the Spanish littoral before the sea crossing.
Ibiza West Coast
During the descent, enjoy views of the rocky western coastline of Ibiza, including hidden calas and the legendary Es Vedrà rock in the distance.
The right side is unbeatable for late afternoon or evening flights, as it captures the sunset over the Atlantic and Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Pyrenees for high-contrast mountain terrain.

Parisian Horizon
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Paris metropolitan area is visible as the flight traverses central France.
Central Pyrenees
High-altitude views of the snow-capped central peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range separating France and Spain.
Balearic Sea
The deep blue expanse of the Mediterranean becomes visible as the aircraft leaves the Spanish mainland.
Formentera Views
On the standard approach to Runway 06, the left side provides the clearest views of Ibiza's sister island, Formentera, and its turquoise waters.
Sit on the left if you are taking a morning flight to avoid direct glare from the sun. This side is also the best choice for spotting Formentera's famous white-sand beaches during the final descent into Ibiza Airport.
