AGPSTR

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

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama featuring the Sierra Nevada mountains shortly after takeoff, the Mediterranean coastline, and a spectacular distant view of the Swiss Alps and Lake Constance during the latter half of the journey.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Sierra Nevada

The highest mountain range in mainland Spain, often featuring snow-capped peaks like Mulhacén.

🏖️

Levante Coast

Views of the Spanish eastern coastline near Valencia and the distant horizon of the Balearic Sea.

🏔️

Eastern Pyrenees

Dramatic views of the mountain range near the Mediterranean side, including the peaks of Andorra.

🏔️

The Alps

A stunning distant panorama of the Swiss and French Alps, often including a view of Mont Blanc on clear days.

💧

Lake Constance

The vast 'Bodensee' marking the intersection of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.

🏰

Swabian Jura

The limestone plateau of the 'Schwäbische Alb' with its rolling hills and occasional castle sightings.

The right side is the 'mountain side' of this route. For the best photography of the Alps and Sierra Nevada, choose a seat away from the wing. During morning flights, be prepared for direct sunlight; high-quality sunglasses are recommended for spotting the distant Alpine peaks.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Costa del Sol

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

🏜️

Spanish Meseta

The high plateau of central Spain, characterized by its unique reddish soil and agricultural patterns.

🏔️

Western Pyrenees

The rugged northern border of Spain with views of the high peaks as you transition into French airspace.

🌋

Massif Central

Glimpses of the ancient volcanic landscape in south-central France, featuring dormant cinder cones.

🌲

Northern Black Forest

Dense, dark evergreen forests that dominate the landscape during the final descent into Stuttgart.

Sit on the left for better views of the Malaga city center during certain takeoff patterns. This side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side of the plane, reducing glare when photographing the French countryside.
