Which side of the plane to sit from Málaga Airport (Malaga) to Stockholm Västerås Airport (Vasteras)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Pyrenees crossing, the volcanic landscapes of France, and the engineering marvel of the Øresund Bridge.
The Pyrenees
The spectacular snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between Spain and France.
Massif Central
The ancient, rounded volcanic domes (puys) of south-central France.
The Rhine River
The industrial heartland of Germany and the busy commercial waterway of the Rhine.
Øresund Bridge
The iconic bridge and tunnel system connecting Copenhagen, Denmark, to Malmö, Sweden.
Stockholm Archipelago
A mosaic of thousands of forested islands in the Baltic Sea visible as the plane enters Swedish airspace.
The Pyrenees crossing is the highlight of the trip, usually occurring within the first hour; morning sun from the east illuminates the peaks perfectly. Have your camera ready for the Øresund Bridge roughly 30 minutes before landing, as it is a rare and striking sight from 30,000 feet. Seasonal snow in winter makes the Swedish coastline particularly picturesque on this side.
Meseta Central
The vast, golden-hued high plateau of central Spain visible shortly after takeoff from Málaga.
Paris Cityscape
Distant views of the French capital's iconic layout and the winding Seine River as you traverse northern France.
Brussels & Benelux
A clear view of the dense urban grid of Brussels and the flat, green landscapes of the Low Countries.
The North Sea Coast
The rugged western coastline of Denmark and the white-capped waves of the North Sea.
Lake Mälaren
The intricate network of islands and freshwater inlets surrounding Västerås during the final approach.
For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the French coastline. On late-afternoon flights, this side provides a stunning sunset view over the Atlantic and North Sea as you approach Scandinavia. Keep an eye out for the glowing lights of Madrid if flying at dusk.
