Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most dramatic geographic features of the route, including the snow-capped Sierra Nevada shortly after takeoff and the highest peaks of the Pyrenees during the mid-flight border crossing.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Sierra Nevada Peaks

Spectacular views of Mulhacén, the highest point in continental Spain, visible shortly after departure from Málaga.

🌬️

La Mancha Windmills

The vast, arid plains of central Spain, dotted with traditional and modern wind turbines.

⛰️

High Pyrenees

The most dramatic part of the flight, crossing the massive limestone and granite peaks of the border between Spain and France.

🌋

Massif Central

The ancient volcanic domes and craters of the Auvergne region in south-central France.

🌲

Ardennes Forest

Dense, rolling green forests and deep river valleys of Wallonia as the plane descends into Charleroi.

For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right and fly during the morning to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The most impressive views occur roughly 15 minutes after takeoff (Sierra Nevada) and 50 minutes into the flight (Pyrenees). Keep an eye out for the distinct volcanic shapes of the Puy de Dôme while over France.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Costa del Sol

Immediate views of the Málaga coastline and the Mediterranean Sea during the initial climb.

🏙️

Madrid Metropolitan Area

A view of the Spanish capital's sprawl and the Four Towers Business Area skyscrapers to the east.

🏔️

Sierra de Guadarrama

Rugged granite mountain ranges located just north of Madrid, marking the transition to the northern plateau.

🏰

Loire Valley

Glances of the winding Loire River and the historic estates of central France.

🗼

Paris Peripheral View

Depending on the specific airway, the Eiffel Tower and the Paris skyline may be visible in the distance.

The left side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic and Bay of Biscay. It also provides the best views of the French coastline if the flight is diverted slightly west due to weather or traffic.
