Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Atlantic coastline, the French wine regions, and the dramatic descent along the Costa del Sol into Malaga.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Zeeland Delta Works

A bird's-eye view of the massive dams and storm surge barriers along the southern Dutch coast.

🍷

Bordeaux Region

The winding Garonne river and the world-famous vineyards of south-western France.

🏖️

Bay of Biscay

The rugged coastline where the French Atlantic meets the northern shores of Spain near San Sebastian.

⛰️

Western Pyrenees

The lower, greener western end of the mountain range where the terrain transitions toward the Atlantic.

🏝️

Costa del Sol

The sun-drenched beaches and turquoise waters of the Mediterranean as the plane descends into Malaga.

The right side is ideal for coastal lovers. You will see the Dutch islands early on and the French Atlantic coast mid-flight. On the final approach into AGP, the right side usually offers the best view of the Malaga city center and the harbor. Use a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare in afternoon sun.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Dutch Polders

The intricate geometric patterns of reclaimed land and canals immediately after takeoff from Schiphol.

🗼

Parisian Basin

Vast agricultural landscapes and the distant urban sprawl of the French capital depending on the flight corridor.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

Dramatic views of the high, snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between France and Spain.

🏗️

Madrid Skyline

The sprawling density of Spain's capital city often visible as the flight traverses the central plateau.

❄️

Sierra Nevada

Spectacular views of mainland Spain's highest peaks, often snow-covered, located just east of Malaga.

Sit on the left if you want a chance to see the Sierra Nevada peaks during the final approach. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Pyrenees, as the sun will be in the southeast. If the plane circles before landing, the left side may catch a glimpse of the Alboran Sea.
