EINAGP

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior perspective of the central French landscapes, the high peaks of the Pyrenees, and the dramatic Sierra Nevada mountains during the final descent into the Costa del Sol.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🗼

Greater Paris Area

Distant views of the sprawling French capital and its surrounding urban forest as you head south.

🏰

Loire Valley

Glances of the winding Loire River and the historic estate-dotted countryside of central France.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

Dramatic views of the highest limestone peaks and glaciers along the French-Spanish border.

🏜️

Castile-La Mancha

The vast, arid plains of the Spanish Meseta, characterized by red earth and occasional windmills.

❄️

Sierra Nevada

Spectacular views of Spain's highest mountain range, often snow-capped, just before the turn toward Malaga.

Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the soft lighting over the European continent. As you approach Malaga (AGP), the aircraft often makes a banking turn that provides a stunning view of the Mediterranean coastline and the Sierra Nevada peaks to the east. Watch for the change from the green of France to the distinct ochre tones of the Spanish interior.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🇧🇪

Belgian Lowlands

The densely populated and highly organized agricultural patterns of Belgium and Northern France.

🌊

Bay of Biscay Coastline

In the distance, the rugged Atlantic coastline of western France and the Basque country may be visible.

⛰️

Western Pyrenees

The lush, green northern slopes of the mountains where the range meets the Atlantic influence.

🏙️

Madrid Metropolitan Area

Views of the high-altitude Spanish capital and the surrounding Sierra de Guadarrama mountains.

💧

Guadalquivir Basin

The fertile river valley and olive groves of Andalusia stretching out toward the Atlantic horizon.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic horizon. If the flight takes a more westerly route, you will have a front-row seat to the cityscape of Madrid. During the final approach into Malaga, you might see the peaks of the Sierra de las Nieves and the rolling hills of the Guadalhorce Valley.
