BRU → AGP
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of urban landmarks and coastal scenery. Passengers can often spot the Paris skyline in the distance, the sprawling city of Madrid during the cruise, and a breathtaking approach over the mountains and the city of Málaga itself upon arrival.
Paris Distant View
On clear days, the typical flight path passes west of Paris, offering a glimpse of the city's distinctive layout.
Bordeaux & Vineyards
Views of the Garonne river and the famous wine-producing regions of southwestern France.
Madrid Cityscape
A clear view of the Spanish capital's skyscrapers and urban sprawl as you transition into southern Spain.
Sierra de Mijas
Rugged limestone mountains that provide a dramatic backdrop as the aircraft aligns for the runway at AGP.
Málaga City Center
Direct views of the Alcazaba, the cathedral, and the port area during the final seconds of the descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to see the sunset over the Atlantic horizon. For the best views of Málaga city during landing, sit toward the front or well behind the wing to avoid engine obstruction. If the flight takes a western route over France, you may even see the Bay of Biscay coastline.
Waterloo Battlefield
Shortly after takeoff from BRU, look down to see the historic Lion's Mound and the battlefield south of Brussels.
Eastern Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the high peaks separating France and Spain, often capped with snow during winter and spring.
Castile-La Mancha
The vast, golden plains of central Spain, famous for their windmills and unique agricultural patterns.
Sierra Nevada
As the plane descends toward Málaga, the highest peaks of mainland Spain are visible to the east near Granada.
Alboran Sea
On final approach, if the plane loops over the Mediterranean, you get an expansive view of the deep blue sea.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 20 minutes of the flight when the Sierra Nevada mountains come into view. Keep an eye out for the distinctive red soil of the Spanish interior.
