AGPBVE

Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Brive Souillac Airport (Brive)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the high Sierra Nevada peaks shortly after takeoff and a more direct angle of the central Pyrenees' highest summits during the border crossing.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Sierra Nevada

Spectacular views of mainland Spain's highest peaks, often snow-capped, shortly after takeoff.

🚜

Castile-La Mancha

The iconic red-earth plains and vast agricultural patterns of central Spain's plateau.

⛰️

Central Pyrenees

The most rugged and highest section of the mountain range, offering breathtaking jagged peaks.

🍷

Quercy Region

The beautiful limestone plateaus and vineyards of the Lot department as you enter French airspace.

💧

Lot River Bends

Intricate meanders of the Lot River cutting through the landscape near Cahors before arrival.

The right side is essential for seeing the Sierra Nevada. To avoid harsh sunlight during a morning flight, the right side is preferred as the sun will be behind the aircraft or on the opposite side as you fly north.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏖️

Costa del Sol

Panoramic views of the Malaga coastline and the Mediterranean Sea as the aircraft climbs.

🏙️

Madrid Skyline

A glimpse of the Cuatro Torres and the sprawling metropolitan area of the Spanish capital.

Lush green landscapes and historic chateaus visible during the final descent into Brive.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Malaga port during departure. On afternoon flights, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare.
