AAL → AGP
Which side of the plane to sit from Aalborg Airport (Aalborg) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
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.
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.
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.
