AGP → BSL
Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (Mulhouse)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior scenic experience, featuring the snow-capped Sierra Nevada immediately after takeoff, the rugged heart of the Pyrenees, and long-range views of the French Alps during the cruise.
Sierra Nevada
Spectacular views of Spain's highest peaks, often snow-covered, visible shortly after departure from AGP.
Mediterranean Coastline
Sweeping views of the Balearic Sea and the dramatic cliffs of the Costa Blanca and Costa Brava.
Central Pyrenees
A prime view of the highest peaks of the range, including the Aneto massif, as you cross into France.
Rhône Valley
The corridor of vineyards and historical towns following the path of the Rhône river northward.
French Alps
On clear days, the distant, majestic silhouettes of the high Alps, including Mont Blanc, appear on the horizon.
Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the German Schwarzwald visible as the aircraft aligns for landing.
The right side is the 'mountain side'. For the best experience, book a morning flight; the sun will be behind you as you look east toward the Alps. Be ready with your camera within 10 minutes of takeoff for the Sierra Nevada, and again about 50-60 minutes into the flight for the Pyrenees crossing.
Costa del Sol
Bird's eye view of Malaga's beaches and the urban coastline during the initial climb.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, arid high plateau of central Spain, characterized by red earth and rural patterns.
Western Pyrenees
The green, rugged foothills of the Basque and Navarrese mountains at the border.
Massif Central
Aerial perspective of the ancient volcanic 'puys' and rolling green plateaus of central France.
City of Lyon
A clear view of the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers and the dense urban grid of Lyon.
Vosges Mountains
The rounded, forested peaks of the Vosges range visible during the final descent into BSL.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking at the Spanish interior rather than the sea. This side is better during afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Watch for the dramatic change from the dry Spanish plains to the lush greenery of the French Massif Central.
