Which side of the plane to sit from M. R. Štefánik Airport (Bratislava) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a dramatic gallery of Europe's most famous landscapes, including the heart of the Alps, the French Riviera, and the majestic Pyrenees.
High Alps
Spectacular close-up views of the snow-capped peaks of the Austrian and Swiss Alps shortly after takeoff.
Côte d'Azur
The glamorous French coastline including glimpses of Nice, Cannes, and the Marseille harbor.
The Pyrenees
The natural border between France and Spain, featuring sharp ridges and deep green valleys.
Barcelona Skyline
The distinct urban grid of the Eixample district and the Sagrada Familia are often visible.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks of mainland Spain, often snow-tipped even in late spring, appearing just before the descent into Malaga.
This is the premier side for photography. Ensure you have your camera ready within the first 30 minutes for the Alps. For late afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare as you head southwest.
Slovenian Alps
Distant views of the Julian Alps and the rugged terrain of northern Italy.
Ligurian Sea
The deep blue expanse of the Mediterranean as the flight crosses from Italy towards Spain.
Balearic Islands
Clear aerial views of Mallorca and Ibiza depending on the specific air traffic corridor.
Costa Blanca
The white sandy beaches and turquoise waters of the Alicante and Murcia regions.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. It offers a more serene, maritime perspective with beautiful ocean horizons and island spotting.
