Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Vnukovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior panoramas of the continent's most dramatic mountain ranges, including a tangential view of the Pyrenees and a stunning profile of the Swiss and Austrian Alps depending on the exact air corridor.
Costa del Sol
Stunning coastal views of the Mediterranean shoreline during the initial climb out of Malaga.
The Pyrenees
The jagged, snow-capped border between Spain and France offers some of the flight's best photography opportunities.
The Swiss Alps
On clear days, the northern edges of the high Alps are visible, showcasing glaciers and 4,000-meter peaks.
Prague Cityscape
Look for the Vltava River and the historical center of the Czech capital as you transit Central Europe.
Belarusian Forests
Dense, dark green woodland and winding rivers characterize the landscape before entering Russian airspace.
Sit on the right side for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Mediterranean. Approximately 90-120 minutes into the flight, keep your camera ready for the Alps. Note that current route deviations may push the path further south, making the right side even more critical for mountain spotting.
Sierra Nevada
Immediately after takeoff, witness the highest peaks of mainland Spain rising sharply from the coast.
Madrid Metropolitan
A distant but clear view of the Spanish capital's layout and the Cuatro Torres skyscrapers.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateaus and rugged terrain of south-central France.
Frankfurt Skyline
The high-rise financial district of 'Mainhattan' is often visible when crossing western Germany.
Warsaw Vistula
The winding Vistula River and the modern skyline of the Polish capital during the final third of the journey.
The left side is ideal for evening flights to avoid direct glare and enjoy the sunset over the Atlantic horizon. Watch for the 'Meseta' plateau's red earth early in the flight; it provides a striking contrast with the blue Mediterranean.
