FMOAGP

Which side of the plane to sit from Münster Osnabrück Airport (Munster) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the Mediterranean coastline and the dramatic Sierra Nevada mountains during the final approach into Malaga.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏰

Rhine-Moselle Valleys

Early flight views of the winding river valleys and vineyard-covered hills of Western Germany.

🏔️

Eastern Pyrenees

A spectacular crossing of the high mountain peaks dividing France and Spain.

🌊

Costa Brava Coastline

Panoramic views of the rugged Mediterranean coast as the flight path parallels the shoreline.

🏙️

Valencia & Ebro Delta

Clear views of the unique Ebro river delta and the sprawling city of Valencia further south.

❄️

Sierra Nevada Range

Breathtaking views of Mulhacén, the highest peak in mainland Spain, often snow-capped.

Sit on the left for the best sunrise views on early morning departures. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the high peaks of the Sierra Nevada and the blue Mediterranean. Avoid seats directly over the wing (rows 12-22 on most A320s) to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🍷

Aquitaine Basin

Views of the sprawling French countryside and the famous wine regions near Bordeaux.

🏜️

Spanish Meseta

The vast, high-altitude plateau of central Spain with its characteristic ochre and red soil.

🏘️

Castilian Villages

Small, historic Spanish towns clustered around central plazas visible across the plains.

⛰️

Sierra Morena

The dark, rugged mountain range that separates the central plateau from the Andalusian lowlands.

☀️

Atlantic Horizon

On clear days, the distant glint of the Atlantic Ocean is visible as you head toward the south.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Iberian Peninsula. It provides a great perspective of the vastness of the Spanish interior. If the flight path passes west of Madrid, you may catch a glimpse of the city's skyscrapers (Cuatro Torres) in the distance.
