Ibiza is a summer destination for New York: villas, beach clubs, yachts and the island's famous nightlife. Ibiza Airport (IBZ) handles business jets and gets very busy in high season, which runs from June to September. Many travelers combine Ibiza with Mallorca, Formentera or a yacht charter, and some stop in Paris, London or Nice on the way. The transatlantic leg needs a long-range jet to fly non-stop.

| John F. Kennedy International | JFK / KJFK | departure · 6,220 km to IBZ | Alternative. |
| Ibiza | IBZ / LEIB | arrival | The island's only airport, a few miles from Ibiza Town; mixed traffic and very busy in summer, so slots and parking need planning. |

|---|---|---|
| June to September | Peak season. The island's airport and parking are under pressure on summer weekends. | Book as early as you can for July and August weekends. |
| May and October | The shoulder months: openings and closing parties, calmer airport. | Easier to get the aircraft and times you want. |
