AGP → LUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (Luxemburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the high Pyrenees peaks, the dramatic volcanic landscapes of central France, and the scenic descent into the Moselle valley.
Costa del Sol Departure
Stunning views of the Mediterranean coastline and Malaga's harbor immediately after takeoff.
Sierra Nevada Peaks
The highest mountains in mainland Spain, often snow-capped even in late spring.
Central Pyrenees
Direct views of the highest peaks including Aneto, providing a dramatic crossing into France.
Chaine des Puys
The distinctive volcanic domes of the Massif Central in France, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Burgundy Vineyards
The famous 'Climats' of Burgundy, appearing as stripes of varied green and gold across the hillsides.
Moselle Valley
The steep, terraced vineyards and winding river just before entering Luxembourgish airspace.
For the best photography of the Pyrenees, an afternoon flight provides the most dramatic shadows and lighting. Look out for the Auvergne volcanoes roughly halfway through the flight. On the final descent into LUX, this side often sees the loops of the Moselle river, which is particularly beautiful during the autumn harvest season.
Andalusian Olive Groves
Endless geometric patterns of olive plantations stretching across the rolling hills of southern Spain.
Madrid Metropolitan Area
Distances views of the Spanish capital and the Four Towers Business Area depending on the flight corridor.
Western Pyrenees
The greener, lower slopes of the mountain range near the Basque Country border.
Loire Valley Chateaus
Glimpses of the winding Loire River and the historic estates dotting the French countryside.
Northern France Plains
The classic patchwork quilt of agricultural fields characteristic of the Grand Est region.
Luxembourg City Skyline
Views of the Kirchberg plateau and the deep Alzette river valley during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. As you approach Luxembourg, look for the 'Petrusse' and 'Alzette' valleys which give the city its unique multi-level appearance. This side is also better for spotting the Spanish 'Meseta' plateau during mid-flight.
