AGPGSE

Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Gothenburg City Airport (Gothenborg)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the rugged eastern Pyrenees, distant views of the Alps when over France, and the best angle of the Gothenburg city skyline and harbor during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Sierra Nevada

A glimpse of mainland Spain's highest peaks to the east shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Pyrenees Mountains

A spectacular crossing over the snow-capped border between Spain and France.

🌋

Massif Central

The unique volcanic topography and ancient green peaks of central France.

🏙️

Benelux Urban Core

Clear views of Brussels, Antwerp, and the complex river deltas of the Netherlands.

🌉

Øresund Bridge

On clear days, the bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden is visible on the far eastern horizon.

🇸🇪

Gothenburg City Center

Direct views of the Liseberg park, the harbor, and the city's red-roofed architecture on descent.

Sit on the right for morning flights to avoid the direct sun glare while looking north. This side is specifically recommended for the arrival into Gothenburg City Airport (GSE), as most approach patterns bank to give this side a full view of the city center.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
🏖️

Costa del Sol

Dramatic views of the Malaga coastline and the Alboran Sea during the initial climb.

🏜️

Iberian Meseta

The vast, arid high plateau of central Spain, offering stark geometric patterns of farmland.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

A distant horizon view of the Atlantic Ocean as the flight traverses western France.

🗼

Parisian Basin

Potential views of the Eiffel Tower and the sprawl of Paris if the flight path tracks slightly west.

🇩🇰

Jutland Peninsula

The sandy western coastline of Denmark and the windmills of the North Sea.

🏝️

Gothenburg Archipelago

The scenic rocky islands of the Swedish west coast scattered across the Kattegat.

Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic and North Sea. This side is also better for spotting the French capital if the airway passes directly over or just east of Paris.
