FRA → AGP
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers unparalleled views of the Mediterranean coastline, including the French Riviera and the Costa Brava, ending with a spectacular seaside approach into Malaga.
Alpine Peaks
Distant views of the snow-capped Swiss and French Alps to the southeast during the first half of the flight.
The Camargue
The unique wetlands, salt pans, and lagoons of the Rhone River delta along the French coast.
Barcelona & Montserrat
A clear aerial view of the Catalan capital and the iconic serrated mountain range nearby.
Costa del Azahar
The 'Orange Blossom Coast' featuring turquoise waters and historic coastal fortifications.
Sierra Nevada
Spain's highest mountain range, providing a dramatic snowy backdrop even in late spring.
Malaga Cityscape
Panoramic views of the cathedral, 'La Malagueta' bullring, and the modern harbor during final descent.
Choose a window seat on the left for morning departures to catch the sunrise over the Mediterranean. During the final 20 minutes, watch for the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains. The descent usually follows the coastline, providing the best view of Malaga's urban landmarks.
Vosges & Jura
Dense forests and rolling green peaks visible shortly after leaving German airspace.
Auvergne Volcanoes
The ancient, dormant volcanic domes of the French Massif Central region.
Central Pyrenees
The rugged, high-altitude spine of the mountain border between France and Spain.
Castilian Plateau
The vast, colorful agricultural plains and red earth of the Spanish interior.
Madrid Skyline
The skyscrapers of the 'Cuatro Torres' business district visible if the flight path stays inland.
Sierra Morena
The forested slopes and deep valleys that mark the gateway to the Andalusia region.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you and avoid glare. It provides the most direct view of the central Pyrenees' highest peaks. As you cross central Spain, look for the distinctive geometric patterns of olive groves typical of Andalusia.
