AGPPRG

Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for this route as it provides a stunning panorama of the high Alpine peaks and the best opportunity to see the Prague skyline during the standard approach.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

Sierra Nevada

Views of the highest peaks in mainland Spain shortly after takeoff from Málaga.

🏖️

Mediterranean Coast

Clear views of the Spanish Levante and distant glimpses of the Balearic Islands.

❄️

The High Alps

Spectacular, close-up views of the snow-capped Swiss and Austrian mountain ranges.

🥨

Bavarian Plains

The flat, green landscapes of Southern Germany and the city of Munich.

🌇

Prague Cityscape

A classic view of the Vltava River and the 'City of a Hundred Spires' on final approach.

For morning flights, the right side avoids direct sunlight glare. The approach into Prague usually favors the right side for seeing the city center if the wind is from the west (Runway 24). Keep your camera ready as the plane crosses the Alps, as this is the scenic highlight of the journey.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Costa del Sol

Aerial views of the Málaga coastline and the Mediterranean Sea during initial ascent.

⛰️

Pyrenees Mountains

Distal views of the rugged border between Spain and France.

🍷

French Countryside

The structured patterns of the Burgundy vineyards and the Rhone river valley.

🌲

Black Forest

Dark green expanses of the German woodland regions as you head north.

🏰

Bohemian Forest

The lush, rolling hills of the Czech border region during the initial descent.

Opt for the left side on evening flights to witness the sunset over Western Europe. During the winter months, look for the snow-covered peaks of the Massif Central in France. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion for photography.
