AGP → DTM
Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Dortmund Airport (Dortmund)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic sequence of landmarks, including the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada, the urban sprawl of Madrid, and the majestic crossing of the Pyrenees into France.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks of mainland Spain, often snow-capped, are visible shortly after departure from Malaga.
Madrid Metropolitan
Clear views of the Spanish capital's dense urban center and the Cuatro Torres skyscrapers.
Pyrenees Mountains
A spectacular crossing of the jagged mountain border between Spain and France, often the flight's scenic peak.
Distant Alps
On very clear days, the high peaks of the French and Swiss Alps may be visible on the far horizon.
Middle Rhine Valley
Views of the winding Rhine River and its iconic steep vineyards as you enter German airspace.
The right side is superior for mountain lovers. Keep your camera ready roughly 45-60 minutes into the flight for the Pyrenees. Be aware that morning flights will have direct sunlight on this side, which may require closing the window blind at times.
Costa del Sol
Immediate views of Malaga's coastline and the turquoise waters of the Alboran Sea during the initial climb.
Meseta Central
The vast, golden plains of the Spanish interior plateau, characterized by unique agricultural patterns.
Bay of Biscay
Distant views of the Atlantic coastline as the flight path passes over Western France.
Loire Valley
Aerial perspective of the 'Garden of France,' known for its historic vineyards and scattered chateaux.
Ruhr Metropolis
The dense industrial and urban landscape of Western Germany as the plane descends into Dortmund.
Sit on the left for the best views of Malaga city and the harbor during departure. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on the right side for much of the journey, making the left side better for photography without glare.
