BOH → AGP
Which side of the plane to sit from Bournemouth Airport (Bournemouth) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side provides a superior vantage point for the iconic Isle of Wight at departure, the majestic Sierra Nevada peaks, and a breathtaking panoramic view of the Malaga coastline and city during the final approach.
Isle of Wight
Aerial view of The Needles and the chalk cliffs shortly after departure from Bournemouth.
Loire Valley
The lush green landscapes of central France, dotted with historic chateaux and winding rivers.
Central Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the high-altitude snow-capped peaks separating France and Spain.
Madrid Metropolitan
Distances views of the Cuatro Torres Business Area skyscrapers as you transit central Spain.
Sierra Nevada
Mainland Spain's highest peaks, often snow-covered, visible during the descent into Andalusia.
Costa del Sol
A stunning sweep of the Mediterranean coastline and Malaga city during the final landing circuit.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. During the descent into Malaga, the aircraft often performs a U-turn over the Alboran Sea, providing the left side with a full panoramic view of the city and the Port of Malaga. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing.
Jurassic Coast
The UNESCO World Heritage site featuring Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door just after takeoff.
Bay of Biscay
The vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean meeting the rugged coastline of Western France.
Picos de Europa
The sharp, jagged limestone peaks of the Cantabrian Mountains in Northern Spain.
Andalusian Plains
Endless geometric patterns of olive groves that define the landscape of Southern Spain.
Rock of Gibraltar
Often visible in the distance to the south as the plane aligns for the approach into AGP.
The right side is perfect for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic. It offers a better view of the rugged Atlantic coastline of Brittany and Northern Spain. Watch for the distinct 'sea of plastic' greenhouses in Almería if the flight path tracks slightly further east.
