Ibiza to London is 875 miles (1,408 km), a flight of about 2 hours 15 minutes.
While takeoff offers Ibiza's scenic coastline, the landing approach into Heathrow provides more dramatic and varied scenery: the Thames estuary, London's urban landscape, and the contrast between countryside and city. Left-side seats capture this better during descent.
Flight Path
Over the Bay of Biscay and English Channel, you'll cross open water with limited landmarks. The flight path typically passes over or near the Cotswolds and Thames Valley before reaching Heathrow. The Channel crossing itself offers views of the English coastline (Kent or Sussex) on approach to London, with the white cliffs of Dover potentially visible if the flight path takes you eastward.
