DUSAGP

Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?

Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an unparalleled view of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains during the descent and a superior perspective of the Rhine River shortly after takeoff from Düsseldorf.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🌊

Rhine River Bend

Aerial view of the Rhine winding through the industrial heart of North Rhine-Westphalia immediately after departure.

⛰️

Massif Central

The rugged, volcanic landscape of central France offers dramatic textures and deep valleys mid-flight.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

A spectacular crossing of the high mountain border between France and Spain, featuring jagged peaks and glacial lakes.

🌾

La Mancha Plains

The iconic, vast golden plateaus of central Spain, famous for their historic windmills and agricultural patterns.

🏔️

Sierra Nevada Peaks

Stunning views of Mulhacén, the highest peak in mainland Spain, which often remains snow-capped well into summer.

Book an early morning flight for the best lighting on the Sierra Nevada mountains. The sun will be behind the aircraft, perfectly illuminating the peaks during your descent into Málaga. Be ready with your camera about 25 minutes before landing.

Right Side Highlights

🌲

Eifel National Park

Dense forest canopies and volcanic maars of the Eifel region visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

🗼

Paris Distant Skyline

On clear days, the sprawl of Paris and the distinctive silhouette of the Eiffel Tower can be seen in the distance to the west.

🏰

Loire Valley

The 'Garden of France' reveals its famous châteaux and the winding Loire river as the flight heads south.

🏙️

Madrid & Guadarrama

Views of the Spanish capital's outskirts and the impressive Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range to the west.

🏖️

Costa del Sol Coastline

A beautiful panoramic view of the Mediterranean coast and, depending on the approach path, the Rock of Gibraltar.

Ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Iberian Peninsula. If the flight performs a western approach over the sea, you may get a glimpse of the African coastline across the Strait of Gibraltar.
