EIN → AGP
Which side of the plane to sit from Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
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.
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.
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.
