AGP → LBA
Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Leeds Bradford Airport (Leeds)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Spanish mountain ranges, the rugged coastline of Brittany, and the spectacular ascent over the Welsh mountains and the Irish Sea.
Costa del Sol
Panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline stretching toward Marbella and Gibraltar shortly after takeoff.
Sierra de Guadarrama
The snow-capped peaks of Central Spain provide a stark contrast to the arid plains of Castile.
Brittany Coast
Clear views of the jagged French Atlantic coastline near Brest and the Ouessant islands.
Snowdonia/Eryri
On a clear day, the highest peaks in Wales are visible as the flight path heads north toward Liverpool.
Mersey Estuary
Aerial views of the Liverpool skyline and the massive offshore wind farms in the Irish Sea.
For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the sun glinting off the Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay. Keep an eye out about 20 minutes after departure for the high-altitude lakes of central Spain. As you approach the UK, the lighting on the Welsh mountains is particularly striking during the 'golden hour'.
Malaga City & Port
A bird's-eye view of the historic center, the Cathedral, and the bustling harbour upon departure.
Madrid Metropolitan Area
Distant views of the Spanish capital's skyline and its iconic Four Towers skyscrapers.
Loire Valley
The winding path of the Loire river and the lush vineyards of western France are visible mid-flight.
The Peak District
Rugged moorlands and rolling hills as the aircraft begins its descent into the north of England.
West Yorkshire Vales
Classic English countryside featuring stone walls and historic mill towns surrounding Leeds.
Right-side passengers get a better view of the Pennine hills during the final approach into LBA, which is one of the highest airports in the UK. During winter months, this side captures more direct sunlight over France, making the cabin feel brighter. Watch for the Bay of Biscay coastline crossing near La Rochelle.
