CRL → AGP
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Sierra Nevada mountain range and the iconic Costa del Sol coastline during the final approach into Málaga.
Charleroi & Wallonia
Immediate views of the Sambre river and the industrial heritage of southern Belgium upon departure.
Massif Central
The rugged, ancient volcanic landscape of central France with its distinctive green domes.
Eastern Pyrenees
Stunning high-altitude vistas of the snow-capped peaks separating France and Spain.
Cuenca Landscapes
The dramatic limestone cliffs and gorges of the Serranía de Cuenca in eastern Castile.
Sierra Nevada
Exceptional views of mainland Spain's highest peaks, including Mulhacén, often snow-covered until early summer.
On morning flights, the left side faces the rising sun, which can cause glare; however, it provides the most iconic views of the Andalusian mountains. During the 'Lecrin' approach to AGP, you will see the blue Mediterranean and the coastal resorts of Nerja and Torre del Mar clearly.
Loire Valley
Views of the winding Loire River and the dense forests of central-western France.
Western Pyrenees
The greener, lower ridges of the Pyrenees near the Basque country border.
Madrid Outskirts
Depending on the airway, the distant urban sprawl and skyscrapers of the Spanish capital.
Andalusian Olive Groves
The famous 'sea of olives' creating endless geometric patterns across the rolling hills of Jaén.
Alboran Sea
Deep blue Mediterranean vistas as the plane turns for its final descent over the bay of Málaga.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to enjoy the sunset without direct glare. Keep an eye out during the final descent; if the plane performs a southern loop over the sea, you may catch a glimpse of the Rock of Gibraltar and the North African coast in the far distance.
