Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Malmö Sturup Airport (Malmoe)?

Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama, featuring the distant French Alps, the dense forests of Central Germany, and a breathtaking approach over Copenhagen and the Baltic Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏔️

Sierra Nevada

Distant views of the snow-capped Mulhacén, the highest peak in mainland Spain, shortly after departure.

⛰️

Eastern Pyrenees

High-altitude glacial lakes and sharp ridges marking the eastern edge of the mountain range.

❄️

French Alps

On clear days, the distant but majestic snow-covered peaks of the Alps are visible across the French interior.

🏙️

Copenhagen Skyline

A clear view of the Danish capital, including the Round Tower and modern waterfront architecture, before crossing the Sound.

🚢

The Sound (Öresund)

The busy maritime strait between Denmark and Sweden, often filled with large cargo ships and ferries.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. It provides the best opportunity to spot the French Alps in the distance and offers a spectacular view of Copenhagen and the Baltic Sea during the final approach. Look for the white cliffs of Møn if the flight path takes a southern route over the Baltic.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏖️

Costa del Sol

Dramatic views of the Malaga coastline and the Mediterranean Sea immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Western Pyrenees

Rugged mountain peaks and deep valleys as the flight crosses the border from Spain into France.

🏰

Loire Valley

The winding Loire River and the verdant countryside of central France, dotted with historic estates.

🌊

North Sea Coast

The intricate coastline of the Netherlands and Northern Germany, featuring sandy islands and shipping lanes.

🌉

Öresund Bridge

The massive bridge-tunnel complex connecting Denmark and Sweden, visible during the descent into Malmö.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Málaga coastline during climb-out. If flying in the late afternoon, this side will be shaded from direct sun, providing better conditions for photography. Keep an eye out for the Dutch polders if the flight path tracks more westerly.
