BREAGP

Which side of the plane to sit from Bremen Airport (Bremen) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side is favored for this route as it offers a spectacular perspective of the high Pyrenees and the Sierra Nevada's peaks before descending into the Costa del Sol.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Weser River Meanders

Aerial views of the winding Weser river and the green landscapes of Lower Saxony immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

Dramatic, jagged peaks along the border of France and Spain, often covered in snow during winter and spring.

🏜️

Spanish Meseta

The vast, high-altitude plateau of central Spain, characterized by its unique reddish and ochre earth tones.

❄️

Sierra Nevada Peaks

Stunning views of the highest mountains in mainland Spain, located just east of the flight path near Granada.

🏖️

Costa del Sol Shoreline

The sparkling blue Mediterranean coastline and resort towns as the aircraft aligns for its final approach into AGP.

Sit on the left for the best mountain views. Approximately 20-30 minutes before landing, keep your camera ready for the Sierra Nevada. On morning flights, this side remains cooler and avoids direct sun glare as the plane travels south-southwest. Use a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Pyrenees.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🗼

Parisian Periphery

On many flight paths, the vast urban sprawl of Paris and its surrounding forests are visible to the west.

🍇

Bordeaux Vineyards

The geometric patterns of famous French wine regions and the Garonne river cutting through the landscape.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

The deep blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean meeting the rugged coastline of southwestern France and northern Spain.

⛰️

Picos de Europa

The sharp limestone massifs of northern Spain, visible as the flight transitions from the coast into the interior.

🇬🇮

Rock of Gibraltar

If the aircraft approaches Málaga from the west, you may see the iconic Rock and the North African coast across the strait.

Choose the right side for evening flights to witness spectacular sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean and the Bay of Biscay. This side is also excellent for spotting the North African coastline on very clear days during the descent. If you prefer urban landscapes, the view of the French and Spanish interior cities is more prominent on this side.
