AGP → MUC
Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views, the right side provides a superior perspective of the Mediterranean coastline and a more dramatic panorama of the high Alps during the approach to Munich.
Levante Coast
Stunning views of the Spanish Mediterranean coast, often passing near Valencia and the Ebro Delta.
Barcelona & Catalonia
Potential views of the Catalan coastline and the distinctive urban grid of Barcelona.
Gulf of Lion
The sweeping arc of the French Mediterranean coast near Montpellier and Marseille.
High Alpine Peaks
A spectacular direct view of the jagged, glacier-carved peaks of the Swiss and Austrian Alps.
Zugspitze
Germany's highest mountain is often visible to the south during the final descent into Munich.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for the Alps. Approximately 30 to 40 minutes before arrival, the plane crosses the main Alpine ridge. In winter, the snow-covered peaks are particularly breathtaking. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, illuminating the mountains perfectly.
Costa del Sol
Aerial views of the Malaga coastline and the deep blue Alboran Sea shortly after takeoff.
Spanish Meseta
The high plateau of central Spain, featuring the rugged terrain of the Sistema Central mountains.
The Pyrenees
A crossing over the western or central peaks of the mountain range separating Spain and France.
French Countryside
The patchwork of vineyards and agricultural fields throughout central France.
Western Alps
Distant views of the Swiss and French Alps, including potential sightings of Mont Blanc on clear days.
The left side is excellent for early flight views of the Spanish interior. For morning flights, this side is shaded, providing better conditions for photography without window glare. Look out for the snow-capped Swiss peaks roughly 45 minutes before landing.
