BGO → AGP
Which side of the plane to sit from Bergen Airport Flesland (Bergen) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior experience for this north-to-south journey, providing a more intimate view of the Norwegian coastline upon departure and the breathtaking Sierra Nevada mountain range during the final descent into Andalusia.
Hordaland Archipelago
Aerial views of the intricate network of islands and fjords surrounding Bergen immediately after takeoff.
Central Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the highest peaks of the Pyrenees border as the flight transitions from France into Spain.
La Mancha Plains
The distinct red-earthed patterns and agricultural grids of the Spanish interior plateau.
Sierra Nevada
Spain's highest peaks, often snow-capped even in spring, appearing on the left shortly before landing.
Malaga City & Port
A panoramic view of the Alcazaba, the cathedral, and the modern port area during the southern approach.
For morning flights, the left side is better as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft, reducing glare. Look out for the Sierra Nevada about 20 minutes before landing; it is the most impressive geological feature of the trip. In winter, the contrast between the snowy Norwegian fjords and the sun-drenched Spanish coast is most visible on this side.
North Sea Transition
Views of the vast North Sea and occasionally the distant coastline of East Anglia or the Low Countries.
Bay of Biscay
The rugged western coastline of France and the deep blue expanse of the Atlantic entry point.
Western Pyrenees
The greener, lower slopes of the mountain range near the Basque Country border.
Madrid Outskirts
Distant views of the Spanish capital and the arid landscape of the central Meseta.
Costa del Sol West
Views of the coastline stretching toward Marbella and Gibraltar during the final turn to the runway.
Choose the right side for evening flights to enjoy spectacular sunset views over the Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay. During the descent into AGP, if the plane approaches from the north, you might catch a distant glimpse of the Rock of Gibraltar on the horizon if the visibility is high.
