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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides the most dramatic scenery, featuring the snow-capped Sierra Nevada at takeoff and the majestic Norwegian fjords and glaciers during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Sierra Nevada

Breathtaking views of Spain's highest peaks visible almost immediately after departing Malaga.

⛰️

The Pyrenees

The massive mountain chain separating the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe.

🏙️

Northern Europe

Aerial views of the densely populated regions of the Benelux and the industrial heart of the continent.

⚙️

Offshore Wind Farms

Massive renewable energy arrays situated in the North Sea appearing as white dots on the water.

❄️

Hardangerfjord

Spectacular vistas of deep fjords and the Folgefonna glacier during the final approach into Bergen.

The right side is superior for mountain enthusiasts. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun illuminate the Norwegian mountains and glaciers for the best photographic opportunities.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏜️

Andalusian Plains

Rolling landscapes and vast olive groves characteristic of southern Spain shortly after departure.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

Views of the deep blue Atlantic and the transition from the Spanish coast to French waters.

⚓

Brittany Coastline

The rugged, jagged shoreline and lighthouse-studded islands of northwestern France.

⛴️

English Channel

Choose the left side for afternoon departures to minimize sun glare while viewing the Atlantic coastline. It offers a cleaner view of the transition from mainland Europe into the North Sea.
