Which side of the plane to sit from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a stunning perspective of the Mediterranean coastline, the Balearic Sea, and the magnificent snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada before descending over the Costa del Sol.
Bologna & Tuscany
Aerial views of Bologna's red roofs followed by the rolling hills of Northern Tuscany shortly after takeoff.
Mediterranean Coastline
Dramatic views of the coastline as the plane skirts the Gulf of Lion and the Spanish Levante.
Costa Blanca
Clear views of the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters near Alicante and the Balearic Sea.
Sierra Nevada Mountains
The highest peaks of mainland Spain, including Mulhacén, often snow-capped even in late spring.
Malaga Bay
A sweeping view of the Port of Malaga and the city skyline during the final turn for landing.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left (usually seats A-C). On morning flights, the sun will be behind or above you, perfectly illuminating the Spanish coast. Look out about 20 minutes before landing to catch the Sierra Nevada range; it is the visual highlight of the trip. In winter, these peaks are brilliantly white against the blue sea.
Northern Apennines
Rugged mountain ridges immediately visible to the north after departing from Bologna.
Distant Pyrenees
On clear days, the southern slopes of the Pyrenees are visible as the flight enters Spanish airspace.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, golden-hued high plateau of central Spain, dotted with small villages and agricultural patterns.
Guadalhorce Valley
A lush, green contrast of citrus groves and riverbeds as the plane enters the Malaga province.
The right side (usually seats D-F) is better for seeing the inland geography of Spain. Afternoon flights on this side may experience significant glare as the sun sets to the west. If you are landing on Runway 13 at AGP, this side provides a great view of the Montes de Málaga and the inland hills.
