AGP → DUS
Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including the snow-capped Sierra Nevada shortly after takeoff, a better angle of the Pyrenees, and the scenic Rhine river approach into Düsseldorf.
Sierra Nevada Range
Stunning views of Mulhacén and the high peaks of Andalusia immediately after climbing out of Málaga.
Madrid View
A high-altitude perspective of the Spanish capital and its surrounding dry plains of the Meseta.
Central Pyrenees
A dramatic crossing of the snow-dusted peaks that form the natural border between Spain and France.
Loire Valley
The historic heart of France, dotted with famous chateaux and the winding Loire river.
Parisian Horizon
On a clear flight path, the distant silhouette of the Eiffel Tower and the Paris skyline can often be spotted.
The Rhine River
The iconic silver ribbon of the Rhine provides a scenic backdrop during the final approach into DUS.
Sit on the right side for the best chance to see the Eiffel Tower in the distance (about 1.5 hours in). During the afternoon, the sun will be on the left, making this side perfect for photography without glare. Keep your camera ready during the first 15 minutes for the Sierra Nevada.
Atlantic Coastline
Expansive views of the Bay of Biscay as the flight transitions from the Iberian Peninsula to France.
Bordeaux Vineyards
The lush, geometric patterns of the world-famous wine regions in southwestern France.
Antwerp and Brussels
On clear days, the dense urban clusters of the Benelux region are visible during the descent.
Cantabrian Mountains
Rugged limestone formations in Northern Spain visible before crossing the coastline.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is also excellent for viewing the Gironde estuary and the sandy beaches of the Landes forest in France.
