DTM → AGP
Which side of the plane to sit from Dortmund Airport (Dortmund) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior primarily for the stunning approach into Málaga, offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline and the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains.
Sauerland Hills
Lush green rolling hills and reservoirs of the 'land of a thousand mountains' visible shortly after departure from Dortmund.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the white peaks of the Western Alps are visible on the far horizon while cruising over eastern France.
Mediterranean Coast
The dramatic meeting of the Pyrenees and the sea near the Gulf of Lion as the flight enters Spanish airspace.
Costa Blanca
Aerial views of the high-rise skylines of Benidorm and the rugged Alicante coastline further south.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks in mainland Spain, often snow-capped, providing a dramatic backdrop just before the descent into AGP.
Book an early morning flight to see the sunrise over the Mediterranean. The left side avoids direct afternoon sun glare when flying south. Watch for the massive Mulhacén peak as you approach Malaga; it is the highest point in the Iberian Peninsula.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic landscapes and deep gorges of central France provide a rugged, textured view during the mid-flight segment.
Central Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing of the high mountain border between France and Spain, featuring jagged limestone peaks.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, ochre-colored high plateau of central Spain, dotted with historic villages and agricultural patterns.
Guadalquivir Valley
The fertile green valley cutting through the arid Andalusian landscape as the plane turns toward the coast.
Montes de Málaga
The final rugged mountain range surrounding Malaga, offering a close-up view of the terrain during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic and the Spanish plains. It offers better views of the Pyrenees' highest central ridges. Be aware that the afternoon sun can be quite intense on this side during the southbound journey.
