Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Glasgow International Airport (Glasgow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of diverse landscapes, from the Spanish central plateau and Northern mountains to the rugged peaks of Wales and the English Lake District.
Madrid Skyline
Distant views of the Four Towers Business Area if the flight path tracks centrally over Spain.
Picos de Europa
The jagged limestone peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains in Northern Spain.
Snowdonia National Park
The highest mountains in Wales, often visible when crossing the Irish Sea toward Northern England.
The Lake District
Stunning views of Windermere and the surrounding fells of Cumbria during the northern transit.
Glasgow Cityscape
The urban sprawl of Glasgow, including the West End and the River Clyde, just before touchdown.
The right side provides the best chance to see terrestrial landmarks. For the best views of the Lake District and the Picos de Europa, choose a morning flight to ensure the sun illuminates the mountains from the east, avoiding glare and heavy shadows.
Costa del Sol
Aerial view of the Málaga coastline and the Mediterranean Sea immediately after takeoff.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of deep blue ocean as the flight leaves the northern Spanish coast.
Celtic Sea
Dramatic maritime views and offshore shipping lanes between France and Ireland.
Isle of Arran
Known as Scotland in Miniature, this island is often visible during the descent into Glasgow.
Dumbarton Rock
A historic volcanic plug housing Dumbarton Castle, visible on the final approach along the River Clyde.
The left side is ideal for sunset viewing on evening flights as the sun dips over the Atlantic. During the final descent, stay alert for the Isle of Arran and the Kyles of Bute, which are iconic Scottish landmarks visible about 15 minutes before landing.
