Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama of the Malaga coastline upon takeoff, a more direct view of the high Pyrenees peaks, and a high probability of spotting the Paris skyline, including the Eiffel Tower, during the descent into Beauvais.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Malaga City & Port

An immediate view of the Cathedral, the Alcazaba, and the cruise ship terminal right after takeoff.

❄️

Sierra Nevada

The highest peaks of mainland Spain are often visible on the horizon to the east.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

Dramatic, snow-capped vistas of the central massif as the flight crosses the border into France.

🌋

Massif Central

The ancient volcanic region of France, offering unique geological formations and craters.

🗼

Paris Skyline

On the descent, you can frequently spot the Eiffel Tower and the Montparnasse Tower to the east.

Sit here for the best morning light. This side is critical for seeing the Eiffel Tower; as the plane bypasses Paris to the west, the city appears on your right. Ensure your window is clean as the Pyrenees crossing happens at high altitude and offers prime photography opportunities.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🌊

Costa del Sol

Aerial views of the sparkling Mediterranean coastline as the plane climbs away from Malaga.

⛰️

Sierra Morena

The rugged, dark ridges separating Andalusia from the central Spanish plateau.

🏰

Toledo

The historic medieval city surrounded by the Tajo River is often visible south of Madrid.

🌲

Landes Forest

One of the largest maritime pine forests in Europe stretching across southwestern France.

🍷

Loire Valley

The 'Garden of France' featuring winding river bends and historic chateaus.

Choose this side for evening flights to avoid direct sun glare and enjoy the sunset. It is also the better side for seeing the Bay of Biscay in the far distance as you cross the Pyrenees. Watch for the Loire river roughly 25 minutes before landing.
