Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Münster Osnabrück Airport (Munster)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the highest peaks of the Pyrenees, the volcanic landscapes of Central France, and a scenic approach over the Rhine Valley and the Teutoburg Forest.
Sierra Nevada
Distant views of mainland Spain's highest peaks, often snow-capped, shortly after takeoff from Málaga.
High Pyrenees
The most dramatic part of the flight, crossing the border with views of the Aneto peak and rugged limestone ridges.
Massif Central
Fly over the Chaîne des Puys, a chain of extinct volcanic domes in the heart of France.
Champagne Region
The geometric patterns of the famous vineyards around Reims and the Marne Valley.
Rhine Valley
Aerial perspective of the winding Rhine River, with glimpses of Cologne’s Cathedral if the path is central.
Teutoburg Forest
A green ridge of low mountains that signals the final approach into Münster Osnabrück Airport.
The right side is the clear winner for mountain lovers. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the Pyrenees crossing. For evening flights, the sunset will illuminate the landscape on this side beautifully as you head north. Look out for the 'Drachenfels' or the Cologne skyline during the descent phase.
Costa del Sol
Immediate views of Málaga's coastline and the Mediterranean Sea during the initial climb out of AGP.
Madrid Skyline
On many flight paths, the Cuatro Torres Business Area and the urban sprawl of Madrid are visible to the west.
Bay of Biscay
As the flight crosses into France, the distant glint of the Atlantic coastline near Biarritz can be seen.
Bordeaux Vineyards
Visuals of the Garonne river and the sprawling wine estates of the Aquitaine region.
Paris Environs
On clear days, the western outskirts of Paris and the Seine river loop are visible before heading into the Benelux area.
Ruhr Area
During descent, the industrial landscape and large cities of the Rhine-Ruhr region appear to the northwest.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for capturing the scale of the Spanish Meseta and the urban density of Western Europe's industrial heartland during the final 30 minutes of the flight.
