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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the Atlantic coastline, particularly the rugged western shores of France and the dramatic transition from the North Sea to the Norwegian archipelago during the approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Serranía de Ronda

Shortly after takeoff, view the rugged karst mountains and white villages of the Málaga hinterland.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

Experience the vastness of the Atlantic as the flight crosses from the Spanish north coast toward France.

🏖️

Brittany Peninsula

View the jagged, rocky coastline and lighthouse-dotted shores of westernmost France.

🚢

English Channel Traffic

Watch the world's busiest shipping lanes from above as you cross between France and the UK.

🏝️

Norwegian Skerries

On final approach, see the countless small islands and rocky outcrops that define the Rogaland coast.

For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the French and Norwegian coasts. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, stay alert for the North Sea oil platforms and the sudden appearance of the Norwegian shoreline. The left side is also ideal for capturing the sunset over the Atlantic on late afternoon departures.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏔️

Sierra Nevada Range

Look back and right after departure for distant views of the highest peaks in mainland Spain.

🏙️

Madrid Metropolitan Area

A high-altitude view of the Spanish capital and the vast Castilian plateau.

🎡

Greater London

Depending on the specific air corridor, the sprawl of London and the Thames Estuary may be visible.

🏗️

North Sea Wind Farms

Massive offshore renewable energy arrays visible as you head toward the Scandinavian coast.

🏠

Stavanger City

A clear view of the city center and the mountainous Ryfylke region during the descent.

The right side is excellent for catching the lights of major European cities if flying at night. On clear days, you may see the Pyrenees in the far distance while crossing central Spain. Note that the afternoon sun will be on this side, which can cause glare and heat up the cabin; keep the window shade partially down until you reach the North Sea.
