AGP → SVO
Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular initial views of the Mediterranean coastline and the Sierra Nevada mountains, followed by a more direct perspective of the Alps and the central European landscape as the flight progresses northeast.
Costa del Sol
Immediate views of the Mediterranean coastline and the Alboran Sea during the initial climb out of Málaga.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks of mainland Spain, often snow-capped, providing a dramatic contrast to the coastal heat.
Balearic Sea
Glittering turquoise waters as the plane tracks northeast along the Spanish Mediterranean arc.
The Alps
A magnificent panoramic view of the snow-covered peaks of the European Alps as the flight crosses Central Europe.
Russian Boreal Forests
As the flight descends into Moscow, the dense, dark green evergreen forests of the Russian interior come into view.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right side during morning flights to see the sun illuminate the peaks of the Alps. The Sierra Nevada views happen quickly after takeoff from AGP, so have your camera ready within the first 15 minutes of flight.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, high-altitude arid plateau of central Spain with its unique ochre and red earth tones.
Central European Skylines
Distant views of major metropolitan hubs like Frankfurt or Berlin depending on the specific air corridor.
Moscow City District
On the final approach to SVO from the south, the glass skyscrapers of the 'Moscow City' business district are often visible.
Baltic Cloudscapes
Beautiful atmospheric formations common over the transition from the European plains to the Russian lowlands.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to catch the sunset over the European continent. Ensure you are seated ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the distant city lights of Northern Europe.
