BSL → AGP
Which side of the plane to sit from EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport (Mulhouse) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including distant views of the Swiss and French Alps shortly after takeoff, a direct look at the highest peaks of the Pyrenees, and a spectacular approach past the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains and the Mediterranean coastline.
Distant French Alps
Shortly after departure from BSL, look southeast for the massive, snow-covered peaks of the Mont Blanc massif.
Rhône River Valley
Aerial views of the winding Rhône river as the flight path parallels the valley toward southern France.
Central Pyrenees
Direct views of the highest peaks in the range, including Pico Aneto, during the international border crossing.
Spanish Mediterranean Coast
As the plane nears Andalusia, the sparkling blue waters of the Alboran Sea become visible to the south.
Sierra Nevada
Breathtaking views of mainland Spain's highest mountains, often snow-capped until early summer, located just east of Málaga.
Málaga City and Port
On final descent into AGP, enjoy a panoramic view of the city center, the Alcazaba fortress, and the bustling harbor.
For the best experience, book a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights (departing 07:00-10:00) provide the best lighting for the Alps and Pyrenees. On the final approach into Málaga, the left side typically looks over the city and sea if the aircraft is landing on Runway 13.
Jura Mountains
Immediate views of the dense forests and limestone ridges of the Jura range right after takeoff.
Massif Central Volcanoes
Spot the unique 'Puys' or dormant volcanic domes of the Auvergne region in central France.
Toulouse
Clear views of the 'Pink City' and the Garonne River if the flight path follows a westerly French corridor.
The Meseta Central
The vast, arid, ochre-colored high plateau of central Spain, featuring unique agricultural patterns.
Sierra Morena
The rugged, dark mountain range that acts as the natural gateway between the plateau and Andalusia.
Guadalhorce Valley
The lush 'Garden of Málaga' with its citrus groves and golf courses visible during the final minutes of flight.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights (15:00-18:00) as the sun will be behind you or overhead, highlighting the textures of the Spanish Meseta. Keep an eye out for the Massif Central about 30 minutes after takeoff; the volcanic craters are remarkably distinct from high altitude.
