AGPTMP

Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Tampere-Pirkkala Airport (Tampere)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is the clear winner for this trans-European journey, offering a front-row seat to the Pyrenees peaks, the sprawling urban layout of Paris, the Danish capital, and the iconic 'land of a thousand lakes' transition in Finland.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Sierra Nevada

Early flight views of the highest peaks in mainland Spain immediately after departing Malaga.

⛰️

Pyrenees Mountains

A majestic crossing over the snow-capped border between Spain and France with dramatic ridgelines.

🗼

Paris Cityscape

On clear days, the urban density of Paris and the winding Seine are often visible to the east.

🌉

Oresund Bridge

The architectural marvel connecting Copenhagen, Denmark to Malmo, Sweden across the strait.

🏰

Stockholm & Baltic Islands

The intricate Swedish capital and its archipelago before crossing the sea toward Finland.

💧

Finnish Lakeland

The breathtaking mosaic of thousands of lakes and dense pine forests during the descent into Tampere.

For morning flights, the right side avoids direct sun glare. The Pyrenees crossing occurs approximately 60-70 minutes after takeoff. As you approach Tampere, look for the Oresund Bridge roughly 45 minutes before landing—it is a highlight of the Scandinavian leg.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Bay of Biscay

Stunning views of the deep blue Atlantic where the Spanish coast meets western France.

⚓

Brittany Peninsula

The rugged, rocky coastline of northwest France with its numerous inlets and lighthouses.

💨

North Sea Wind Farms

Massive arrays of offshore wind turbines visible in the waters off the Dutch and German coasts.

🛶

West Sweden Archipelago

A dense cluster of granite islands and coastal villages near the city of Gothenburg.

🌲

Gulf of Bothnia

Expansive views of the northern Baltic sea and the forested western edge of Finland.

The left side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy a sunset over the Atlantic and the North Sea. Watch for the distinctive shape of the Dutch coastline roughly mid-flight. In winter, this side may catch the very last light of day as you head north toward the Arctic circle.
