FMMAGP

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

Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the most dramatic scenery, including a traverse of the Swiss and French Alps and a long, scenic stretch along the Mediterranean coastline of France and Spain.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
💧

Lake Constance (Bodensee)

Shortly after takeoff, view the vast expanse where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.

🏔️

The Swiss & French Alps

Dramatic views of snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys as the flight heads south-west.

🌊

French Riviera & Marseille

Stunning views of the Côte d'Azur coastline and the busy port city of Marseille.

🏖️

Spanish Costa Blanca

Aerial perspectives of the white beaches and turquoise waters near Alicante and Benidorm.

⛰️

Sierra Nevada Mountains

As you approach Andalusia, the highest peaks of mainland Spain dominate the horizon to the east.

For the most dramatic experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the light illuminates the Alps beautifully. As you approach Malaga, look out for the transition from the blue Mediterranean to the rugged Andalusian coastline.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌲

Jura Mountains

The sub-alpine mountain range located north of the Western Alps along the France-Switzerland border.

🌋

Massif Central

The rugged highland region in the middle of Southern France, known for extinct volcanic peaks.

🌄

The Pyrenees

A distant but impressive view of the natural border between France and Spain.

🌾

Spanish Meseta

The vast, high-altitude golden plateaus of the Spanish interior near the final descent phase.

🏙️

Malaga City Center

Depending on the wind direction, the right side often gets a great view of the city and port during the final turn.

The right side is excellent for observing the diverse topography of the French and Spanish interiors. During afternoon flights, this side is shaded, making it easier to take photos without glare. Watch for the stark contrast between the green French forests and the arid Spanish landscape.
