AGP → HAM
Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Hamburg Airport (Hamburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior geographic display, featuring the snow-capped Sierra Nevada shortly after takeoff, a dramatic crossing of the Pyrenees, and the volcanic landscapes of the French Massif Central.
Sierra Nevada
High-altitude views of mainland Spain's highest peaks, often covered in snow even in late spring.
Pyrenees Mountains
A spectacular mid-flight crossing over the rugged, jagged peaks separating Spain and France.
Massif Central
Observe the unique volcanic topography and ancient craters of south-central France.
The Rhine River
Follow the silver thread of the Rhine as it flows through Western Germany toward the sea.
Port of Hamburg
Exceptional views of the Elbe River, the massive container terminals, and the Elbphilharmonie during descent.
The right side is the best for mountain enthusiasts. Early morning departures offer the best lighting for photography over the Pyrenees. During the approach into Hamburg, this side typically offers a stunning panorama of the city center and Alster Lake if landing from the north.
Costa del Sol
Sweeping views of the Malaga coastline and the Mediterranean Sea during the initial ascent.
Madrid Metropolitan Area
Views of the Spanish capital's sprawling outskirts and the Cuatro Torres Business Area if the path is central.
Loire Valley
Spot the winding Loire River and the legendary chateaux dotting the landscape of Central France.
Rotterdam Port
Distant views of one of the world's largest ports and the intricate Dutch coastline.
Offshore Wind Farms
Massive arrays of wind turbines in the North Sea visible as you enter German airspace.
Choose the left side for evening flights to avoid the harsh southern sun and enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic horizon. This side is also better for spotting the lights of Paris or Brussels in the distance on night flights.
