AGPHHN

Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Sierra Nevada at takeoff, the highest peaks of the Pyrenees, and distant views of the French Alps while crossing central Europe.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
❄️

Sierra Nevada

Spain's highest peaks, often snow-capped, providing a stunning contrast to the Mediterranean coast.

🏔️

Eastern Pyrenees

Direct views of the highest massifs in the range, including the Aneto peak area.

🏔️

Distant French Alps

On clear days, the white-tipped silhouette of the Alps is visible to the far east over France.

🍷

Moselle Valley

The winding Moselle River with its steep, world-famous terraced vineyards just before landing.

🏰

German Castles

Spot historic hilltop fortifications nestled in the forests near the Hahn airport area.

This side is a must for mountain enthusiasts. Ensure you look out approximately 15 minutes after takeoff for the Sierra Nevada. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Pyrenees, while the late afternoon sun can cast dramatic shadows across the Moselle vineyards.

🏙️

Málaga Cityscape

Aerial view of the Port of Málaga and the historic city center immediately after departure.

🏜️

La Mancha Plains

The vast, arid landscapes of central Spain with visible wind farms and geometric crop patterns.

🏔️

Western Pyrenees

Dramatic views of the rugged peaks and green valleys marking the border between Spain and France.

🌲

Hunsrück Landscape

The dense forests and rolling hills of the Rhineland-Palatinate during the final approach.

Choose the left side for a classic view of the Costa del Sol upon departure. For photography, this side is ideal during afternoon flights as the sun remains on the opposite side, preventing harsh glares and cabin reflections.
