AGP → LPL
Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior scenic experience, particularly during the second half of the flight, featuring the rugged coastline of Wales and the dramatic peaks of Snowdonia before a scenic descent over the Mersey Estuary.
Betic Mountains
Dramatic views of the limestone ranges of the Cordillera Subbética shortly after departing Málaga.
Atlantic Crossing
Expansive views of the Bay of Biscay as the aircraft leaves the Spanish coastline behind.
Cardigan Bay
The sweeping coastline of West Wales and the Llyn Peninsula as the plane enters UK airspace.
Snowdonia (Eryri)
The highest peaks in Wales, including Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), are often clearly visible to the left.
Mersey Estuary
The vast tidal flats and sandbanks of the River Mersey on the final approach into Liverpool.
Choose the left side for the most iconic British landscapes. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, reducing glare for photography. During the descent, look out for the Wirral Peninsula and the transition from the Irish Sea into the Mersey. If the plane circles before landing, you may get a secondary view of the North Wales coast.
Málaga Cityscape
A stunning bird's-eye view of the Málaga Port, the Cathedral, and the Alcazaba fortress right after takeoff.
Spanish Meseta
The high central plateau of Spain, characterized by golden plains and historic agricultural patterns.
Brittany Coast
On clear days, the westernmost tip of France can be spotted across the English Channel.
Shropshire Hills
Rolling green hills and the patchwork fields of the English-Welsh borderlands.
Liverpool Skyline
A glimpse of the city center, including the Royal Liver Building and the two cathedrals, depending on the landing path.
The right side is excellent for the departure from Málaga, offering views of the city and the Costa del Sol. On afternoon flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side of the aircraft, which may require closing the window blind to avoid heat and glare. This side often provides better views of Manchester and the North West English countryside during the final descent.
