Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Ibiza. The right side wins overall. The London departure view over the Thames and city skyline is genuinely spectacular and hard to beat. During the cruise, the right side also picks up the French coastline near Bordeaux and the Pyrenees as you cross into Spain. The left side landing at Ibiza is better, but the departure experience on the right is the highlight of the flight.

During takeoff from Heathrow (LHR), sit on the Right side for the best views. Heathrow typically departs westbound on runways 27L/27R, then aircraft turn south. The right side gives you a clear view over central London as you climb out — the Thames snaking east, the City skyline, and the green expanse of Richmond Park below. Left side faces away toward Slough and the M4 corridor, which is far less interesting. Notable sights include: River Thames and its bends through Richmond and Chiswick, Windsor Castle and Windsor Great Park to the west, central London skyline including the Shard and Canary Wharf in the distance, Richmond Park.

When landing at Ibiza (IBZ), sit on the Left side for the best views. Ibiza Airport typically lands on runway 06 (heading northeast) or runway 24 (heading southwest). On the common runway 06 approach from the southwest, the left side looks out over the island's interior and the old town of Dalt Vila on its hilltop, plus the southern coastline and Formentera across the channel. Right side faces open sea. Notable sights include: Dalt Vila (Ibiza old town on its hilltop), Formentera island across the Es Freus channel, Ibiza's southern salt flats (Ses Salines), the rocky southern coastline.

The flight from Heathrow (LHR) to Ibiza (IBZ) takes Approximately 2 hours 20 minutes.

The flight tracks southeast over southern England, crosses the English Channel near the Cherbourg Peninsula, then follows the French interior over the Loire Valley and Bordeaux wine region. The Pyrenees mountain range is crossed roughly over the central or western section — a clear day gives excellent views of snow-capped peaks. The aircraft then descends over the Spanish coastal plain and the Balearic Sea before reaching Ibiza.
