AALAGP

Which side of the plane to sit from Aalborg Airport (Aalborg) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the Dutch coastline, the dramatic entry over the Western Pyrenees, and the arid, scenic landscapes of the Spanish Meseta before the descent into Malaga.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌬️

North Sea Coast

Dramatic views of the Frisian Islands and the complex Dutch polder systems.

🏰

Loire Valley

The winding 'Garden of France' featuring historic chateaus and lush greenery.

🏔️

Western Pyrenees

Breathtaking views of high-altitude peaks near the Atlantic coast.

🏜️

The Meseta

The vast, sun-drenched golden plateaus of central Spain and Castilla-La Mancha.

⛰️

Sierra Morena

The rugged mountain range that guards the northern entrance to Andalusia.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain from the green forests of France to the arid, reddish landscapes of Spain after crossing the Pyrenees approximately 2.5 hours into the flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Wadden Sea

Unique tidal flats and islands along the German and Dutch coastlines.

🏙️

Ruhr Valley

The dense industrial and urban sprawl of Western Germany's heartland.

⛰️

Eastern Pyrenees

Rugged mountain peaks marking the natural border between France and Spain.

🏖️

Costa Blanca

Views of the Mediterranean shoreline and the high-rise skyline of Benidorm.

⚓

Malaga Port

A close-up view of the historic harbor and city center on the final approach.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and to see the Mediterranean coastline during the final descent. Look out for the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains in the distance as you enter Andalusian airspace.
