Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Blackpool International Airport (Blackpool)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Spanish mountains, the French Atlantic coastline, and the final scenic approach over the English heartland towards the Lake District and Blackpool Tower.
Sierra Nevada
Shortly after takeoff, look east to see the snow-capped peaks of mainland Spain's highest range.
Picos de Europa
Spectacular views of the limestone massifs in Northern Spain before crossing the Bay of Biscay.
Loire Estuary
Clear views of the French coastline where the Loire river meets the sea near Saint-Nazaire.
English Midlands
Panoramic views of the British landscape, passing near major hubs like Birmingham and Manchester.
Blackpool Tower
The iconic landmark is often visible on the right during the final circuit for landing at BLK.
Lake District Fells
As the plane descends into Lancashire, the southern mountains of the Lake District are visible to the north.
Sit on the right for the best morning light. The transition from the arid Spanish interior to the lush green of the UK is best observed here. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Spanish coast; the Picos de Europa are a major highlight often missed by passengers.
Gulf of Cádiz
Distant views of the southwestern Spanish coast and the vast Atlantic horizon shortly after departure.
Western Brittany
The rugged, wave-battered peninsulas of western France near Brest and the Ushant island.
Celtic Sea
A long stretch over the open waters where the Atlantic meets the English Channel.
Snowdonia Peaks
On the descent, catch the silhouettes of the highest mountains in Wales to the far west.
Choose the left side for sunset flights to avoid direct glare and enjoy the colors over the Atlantic. During the approach into Blackpool, you may see the Isle of Man if the aircraft vectors far enough west over the Irish Sea.
