AGP → HAU
Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Haugesund Airport (Haugesund)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the Pyrenees, the intricate landscapes of the Benelux region, and the spectacular entry into the Norwegian fjord system.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks of mainland Spain, often snow-capped, visible shortly after departure.
The Pyrenees
A magnificent crossing of the jagged, glaciated border between Spain and France.
Paris Basin
The sprawling urban density of the French capital and the winding Seine River if the route tracks east.
Dutch Polders
Intricate geometric patterns of reclaimed land and canals along the Netherlands coast.
Hardangerfjord Region
Stunning views of deep blue fjords and steep mountains as you enter Norwegian airspace.
The right side is the 'photographer's side' for this route. The Pyrenees crossing is the highlight—ensure you are awake about 60-80 minutes into the flight. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Norwegian mountains and glaciers in spectacular detail as you approach Haugesund.
Málaga City & Port
Aerial views of the Alcazaba and the bustling Mediterranean port immediately after takeoff.
Castilian Plateau
The vast, arid landscapes of central Spain featuring deep ochre and red soil patterns.
Bay of Biscay
The transition from the French coastline to the deep blue Atlantic waters.
English Channel
Bird's-eye view of the world's busiest shipping lanes and the distant UK coastline.
Rogaland Archipelago
Thousands of small rocky islands and skerries scattered along the Norwegian coast during descent.
Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid direct sunlight and cabin heat. It provides excellent views of the Spanish Meseta and the Atlantic horizon. During the final approach to Haugesund, look for the unique coastal topography of western Norway's island chains.
