AGPOSL

Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Sierra Nevada mountains immediately after takeoff and provides a superior perspective of the Oslofjord and the city of Oslo during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Sierra Nevada

Dramatic views of the highest peaks in mainland Spain right after departing Málaga Airport.

🏖️

Costa Blanca

The turquoise waters and high-rise skyline of Benidorm and the Valencian coastline.

🏔️

The Alps

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

⛵

Oslofjord

An incredible approach over the islands, inlets, and sailboats of the fjord leading into Oslo.

🏙️

Oslo City & Holmenkollen

A clear view of the city center and the iconic Holmenkollen ski jump during the final turn to land.

The right side is the winner for this route. For the best experience, sit behind the wing to see the Sierra Nevada at takeoff. During winter months, the low sun angle can create stunning golden hour lighting over the Norwegian fjords on late afternoon arrivals.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏔️

Pyrenees Mountains

Aerial views of the rugged mountain range separating Spain and France, often featuring snow-capped peaks.

🌋

Massif Central

The ancient volcanic landscapes and rolling green highlands of south-central France.

🌊

Dutch Coastline

Views of the intricate dikes, polders, and the North Sea shoreline if the path skirts western Europe.

🌲

Telemark Forests

Dense pine forests and deep valleys of southern Norway as the aircraft begins its descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also excellent for observing the transition from the dry Spanish Meseta to the lush, green landscapes of France and the Low Countries.
