Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Belfast International Airport (Belfast)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, starting with a stunning aerial view of Málaga city and its harbor, followed by the jagged Picos de Europa mountains in Northern Spain, the scenic French Atlantic coastline, and the dramatic peaks of Snowdonia in Wales during the approach to the British Isles.

Málaga Cityscape
A perfect bird's-eye view of the Alcazaba, the Cathedral, and the bustling Port of Málaga immediately after takeoff.
Picos de Europa
The dramatic limestone massifs of Northern Spain, often snow-capped in winter and spring.
Brittany Peninsula
The rugged, indented coastline of western France, including the islands of the Iroise Sea.
Snowdonia (Eryri)
The highest peaks in Wales, offering spectacular views of rugged valleys and glacial lakes.
Belfast Lough
The industrial heart of Belfast, featuring the iconic Harland and Wolff cranes and the Titanic Quarter.
The right side is the 'landmark' side. For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. During the mid-flight crossing of the Bay of Biscay, keep an eye out for the French coast near Brest. On the final approach to BFS, this side typically offers the best views of the Belfast city center and the Cavehill 'Napoleon's Nose' landmark if landing from the east.

Atlantic Horizon
Vast views of the open Atlantic Ocean as the flight crosses the Bay of Biscay.
Wicklow Mountains
The lush, rolling green hills of the 'Garden of Ireland' as you approach the Irish Sea.
Dublin Bay
Clear views of the Irish capital's sprawling coastline and the famous Poolbeg chimneys.
Lough Neagh
The largest freshwater lake in the British Isles, visible just before touchdown at BFS.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 20 minutes of the flight when crossing the Irish coast. Look out for the distinct shape of Howth Head and the North Dublin coastline during the descent if the route passes over the Irish Sea.
