AGP → MAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Manchester Airport (Manchester)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Atlantic coastline, the rugged western tip of France, and the stunning entry into the UK via Cornwall and Wales, especially beautiful during evening flights with the sunset.
Atlantic Horizon
Stunning views of the deep blue Bay of Biscay as you cross from Spain to France.
Galician Coastline
The rugged northwest tip of Spain is visible as the aircraft heads north.
Brittany Peninsula
Clear views of the rocky western shores of France near Brest.
Cornish Cliffs
The first sighting of the UK often includes the dramatic cliffs of Land's End or the Lizard.
Welsh Mountains
Distant views of the Snowdonia range as the flight paths over the Irish Sea or Bristol Channel.
Book a window seat on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. Keep an eye out after crossing the Bay of Biscay for the distinct jagged coastline of Brittany and later the green fields of Devon.
Sierra Nevada
Brief views of mainland Spain's highest peaks shortly after departing Malaga.
Central Meseta
The vast, arid high plateau of central Spain, showing unique geological patterns.
English Channel
The narrow strip of water separating the continent, often dotted with cargo ships.
Midlands Landscape
The patchwork of English countryside as you approach northern England.
Manchester Skyline
Excellent views of the city center and football stadiums during the final approach.
The right side is excellent for seeing the Spanish interior and the English Midlands. Upon approach to Manchester, this side often provides a clearer view of the Peak District and the city's iconic football stadiums if the wind is from the west.
