AGPTRD

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Pyrenees crossing and a spectacular descent over the Norwegian highlands and the Trondheimsfjord.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Sierra Nevada

The highest peaks of mainland Spain, often snow-capped, are visible shortly after departure from Malaga.

⛰️

The Pyrenees

A breathtaking crossing over the high mountain border between Spain and France with views of deep valleys.

🏰

Central Europe

Views of the diverse landscapes of Germany and the industrial heartlands of the Benelux region.

🇩🇰

Danish Peninsula

A clear view of the Jutland peninsula and the bridges connecting the Danish islands.

🌲

Norwegian Interior

Vast stretches of taiga forest and the mountainous plateaus of central Norway.

💧

Trondheimsfjord

The final approach provides an iconic view of the expansive fjord and the surrounding verdant hills of Værnes.

The right side is the prime choice for mountain lovers, offering a direct view of the Pyrenees. During the winter months, the low northern sun provides incredible shadows over the Norwegian mountains. On the final descent into TRD, the right side usually provides the best view of the airport's unique location on the edge of the fjord.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏖️

Costa del Sol

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

🏙️

Parisian Horizon

On clear days, the distant silhouette of Paris and its outskirts can be seen during the transit over France.

🌊

Wadden Sea

The intricate sandbanks and tidal flats of the Dutch and German coastlines are visible before crossing the North Sea.

🇳🇴

Southern Norwegian Coast

Stunning views of the rugged coastline and scattered islands as you enter Norwegian airspace.

🏔️

Sunnmøre Alps

Jagged peaks and deep blue fjords visible during the northern leg of the journey toward Trondheim.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly rewarding if the flight path follows the Atlantic coastline of France. Keep an eye out for the unique geometric patterns of the Wadden Sea islands as you head toward Scandinavia.
