Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the rugged southern coastline of Corsica, the sprawling Spanish coastline around Valencia, and the dramatic snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada during the descent into Malaga.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Strait of Bonifacio

The dramatic white limestone cliffs of southern Corsica and the northern tip of Sardinia.

🥘

Gulf of Valencia

A sprawling view of the Spanish coastline where the flight makes landfall over mainland Spain.

⛰️

Sierra Nevada

Stunning views of the Mulhacén peak, the highest in mainland Spain, often snow-covered from November to May.

🏘️

Malaga Cityscape

As the plane banks for arrival, enjoy views of the Alcazaba, the Cathedral, and the Bullring.

Sit on the right for the best photographic opportunities of the Sierra Nevada mountains. During afternoon flights, this side remains in the shadow of the plane, reducing window glare and making it easier to capture the landscape. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Alboran Sea for the final approach into AGP.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Tyrrhenian Sea

Deep crystalline waters as the flight departs the Italian coast heading west.

🏝️

North Sardinia

Distant views of the Costa Smeralda's turquoise inlets and rocky outcrops.

🏖️

Costa Blanca

The white sandy beaches and high-rise skyline of Benidorm and Alicante visible from the south.

🚢

Port of Almería

A clear view of the industrial and ferry port where the desert of Tabernas meets the sea.

On afternoon flights, the sun will be positioned to the south, creating significant glare on this side of the aircraft. This side is best for morning flights when the sea reflects a soft light, but be aware that much of the mid-flight is over open water until reaching the Spanish coast.
