AGP → LHR
Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to London Heathrow Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for its dramatic transition from the Andalusian peaks to the rugged Atlantic coast of France, culminating in an iconic approach over the English South Coast and Windsor Castle.

Sierra de las Nieves
Rugged limestone peaks and deep valleys of the Baetic System visible shortly after departing Malaga.
Bay of Biscay
The deep blue expanse of the Atlantic as you transition from Spanish to French airspace.
Brittany Peninsula
The wild, jagged coastline of western France, including the islands of the Iroise Sea near Brest.
Isle of Wight
A perfect aerial view of the diamond-shaped island and the Needles rock formation upon entering UK airspace.
Windsor Castle
The world's largest inhabited castle is clearly visible on the final approach to Heathrow runway 27L.
For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to benefit from the sun illuminating the coastline to your west. On the final approach into LHR, keep your camera ready about 3 minutes before landing to capture Windsor Castle.

Malaga City
Excellent views of the Alcazaba, the Cathedral, and the bustling port area during the initial climb.
Castilian Plateau
The vast, golden-hued high plains of central Spain stretching toward the eastern horizon.
Gulf of Morbihan
A beautiful 'inner sea' in France filled with numerous small islands and turquoise waters.
London Skyline
If the flight enters a northern holding pattern, you may see the Shard and Canary Wharf in the distance.
Twickenham Stadium
The massive home of England Rugby is a key landmark during the final descent from the east.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. It offers the best views of the Spanish interior and, depending on air traffic control vectoring, can offer a glimpse of the London skyline if you circle the city.
