Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior perspective of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada range and the most direct views of the Malaga coastline and city center during the standard arrival sequence.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🗼

Parisian Horizon

Immediately after takeoff from CDG, catch a panoramic view of the Paris skyline including the Eiffel Tower on the distant horizon.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

Aerial views of the highest peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range as the aircraft crosses from France into Spain.

🏰

Castilian Plains

The vast, arid landscapes of the Meseta Central, dotted with ancient Spanish towns and winding riverbeds.

🏔️

Sierra Nevada Peaks

Spectacular views of Mulhacén and the surrounding high-altitude peaks, which remain snow-covered well into late spring.

🏖️

Costa del Sol

A stunning reveal of the Mediterranean coastline and the Port of Malaga as the plane banks for its final approach.

Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Mediterranean. Keep your window shade open about 70 minutes after departure to catch the Pyrenees crossing. During landing, this side offers the best view of the Alcazaba fortress and the city's historic center.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏰

Loire Valley

Lush greenery and the winding Loire River, famous for its historic châteaux visible from high altitude.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

Views toward the Atlantic coastline and the mouth of the Gironde estuary near Bordeaux.

🏙️

Madrid Skyline

If the flight path passes west of the capital, the four tallest skyscrapers of the Cuatro Torres Business Area are clearly visible.

🏞️

Guadalquivir Valley

The fertile green valley of the Guadalquivir river as you descend through northern Andalusia.

🚢

Strait of Gibraltar

On clear days during a southern approach, the Rock of Gibraltar and the coast of Morocco can be seen in the far distance.

Choose the right side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic horizon. It is also the better side for avoiding direct glare during the middle of the day. If the airport is using Runway 12 for arrivals, you may get a unique view of the Guadalhorce river mouth.
