ZRH → IBZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Zürich Airport (Zurich) to Ibiza Airport (Ibiza)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the core Swiss Alps during departure and a breathtaking panoramic approach along the rugged northern coast of Ibiza during descent.
Bernese Oberland
Stunning views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
French Riviera
A distant but clear view of the Côte d'Azur coastline as the flight transitions from land to the Mediterranean.
Mallorca Coastline
The northern tip of Mallorca and the Tramuntana mountains are often visible across the water.
Ibiza North Shore
Deep turquoise coves and white limestone cliffs of Portinatx during the final approach phase.
Book an 'A' seat for the best photographic angles. On morning flights, the sun is behind you, providing perfect lighting for the Alps. During landing at Ibiza (usually Runway 24), this side offers the most comprehensive view of the island's interior and hidden calas.
Mont Blanc
If the flight path tracks slightly west, you get a massive profile view of Western Europe's highest peak.
Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of the lake and the city of Geneva are visible during the initial climb.
Rhône Valley
Follow the winding river past the vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the historic city of Avignon.
Es Vedrà
If the aircraft circles for a Runway 06 landing, you may catch a glimpse of this iconic, mystical rock formation.
Choose an 'F' seat. This side is better for viewing the sunset if you are on an evening flight. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the best shots of the French/Swiss border mountains.
