Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake is visible shortly after takeoff from Budapest, showcasing its distinct turquoise hue.
The Southern Alps
Aerial views of the Julian Alps and the rugged peaks of Northern Italy as the flight heads southwest.
French Riviera
Panoramic views of the Côte d'Azur, including Nice and Cannes, as the aircraft skirts the Mediterranean coast.
Balearic Sea
Vast views of the Mediterranean with the distant silhouettes of Ibiza and Mallorca often visible on clear days.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks of mainland Spain, often snow-capped, provide a dramatic backdrop during the descent into Málaga.
Choose the left side (typically 'A' seats) for better lighting on morning flights to avoid the sun's glare. This side provides the most consistent coastal views as the plane follows the Mediterranean shoreline toward Andalusia. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the Sierra Nevada range.

Budapest Cityscape
Depending on the takeoff direction, a great view of the Danube River and the Hungarian Parliament building.
The High Alps
Glimpses of the massive peaks of the Swiss and French Alps, including Mont Blanc in the far distance.
Provence Landscape
The rolling hills, vineyards, and lavender fields of southern France are visible before crossing the Spanish border.
Costa Blanca
Views of the rugged Spanish interior contrasting with the dense urban developments of Alicante and Benidorm.
Málaga Harbour
A close-up view of the Port of Málaga and the historic city center during the final approach to AGP.
The right side is ideal for capturing the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. While you might miss some of the coastline, you get a better view of the varied topography of the Spanish Meseta and the foothills of the Pyrenees earlier in the flight. In winter, the northern side of the Alps will appear more heavily glaciated.
