Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Malpensa International Airport (Milano)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a nearly continuous panorama of the Mediterranean coastline, featuring the Balearic Islands, the glamorous French Riviera, and the dramatic Ligurian coast before the final turn toward Milan.

Balearic Islands
From cruising altitude, you can often spot the silhouettes of Ibiza and Mallorca floating in the deep blue Mediterranean.
Costa Blanca
The striking contrast between white sandy beaches and turquoise waters is visible along the Spanish coast near Alicante.
Cote d'Azur
A stunning sequence of the French Riviera’s gems, including St. Tropez, Cannes, and the Promenade des Anglais in Nice.
Monaco
Look closely for the densely packed skyscrapers and the luxury yacht-filled harbor of Monte Carlo.
Ligurian Coast
The rugged mountains of Italy meet the sea, with views stretching toward Genoa and the Portofino peninsula.
The right side is the 'coastal side' for this route. For the best photography, aim for a midday flight when the sun is high to capture the vibrant blues of the sea. Be aware that seasonal haze can sometimes obscure the horizon, but the French Riviera is usually visible even in summer.

Sierra Nevada
Shorty after takeoff, witness the snow-capped peaks of Andalusia, including Mulhacén, the highest point in mainland Spain.
Iberian Hinterland
Dramatic views of the rugged, arid terrain of south-eastern Spain and the Bardenas Reales-like landscapes.
Western Alps
As you cross from France to Italy, the massive glaciated peaks of the Alpine arc dominate the horizon to the north.
Lake Maggiore
During the descent into Malpensa, enjoy a close-up view of one of Italy's largest and most beautiful alpine lakes.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh Mediterranean sun. This side is superior for mountain enthusiasts, especially during the final 20 minutes of the flight when the plane maneuvers around the base of the Alps. Choose a seat in front of the wing for the clearest view of Lake Maggiore.
