Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning Isle of Arran at departure and a breathtaking panoramic view of the Costa del Sol during the final approach into Malaga.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

Isle of Arran

Iconic views of 'Scotland in Miniature' and the rugged peaks of Goatfell shortly after departure.

🇮🇪

Isle of Man

A clear perspective of the island in the middle of the Irish Sea with Ireland visible in the far distance.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

The transition from the French coast to the deep blue Atlantic waters heading toward Northern Spain.

🏔️

Picos de Europa

Stunning limestone massifs of Northern Spain, often capped with snow even in late spring.

🏖️

Costa del Sol

Unrivaled views of the Mediterranean coastline, Torremolinos, and the Malaga port during descent.

Choose the right side for the most dramatic arrival. Depending on the wind, the approach usually banks over the Alboran Sea, providing a perfect view of the beaches. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the coastal panorama.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Glasgow Cityscape

Aerial views of the Clyde and Glasgow's historic city center immediately after takeoff from GLA.

⛰️

Cumbrian Fells

Distant views of the Lake District mountains to the east as the plane heads south over the UK.

🗼

French Hinterland

Vast stretches of the French countryside, often passing west of the bright lights of Paris.

🏔️

Pyrenees Peaks

Dramatic views of the central Pyrenees mountain range marking the border between France and Spain.

🥘

Spanish Meseta

The arid, golden landscapes of central Spain stretching toward the Mediterranean horizon.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The crossing of the Pyrenees is the highlight here; watch for the high-altitude glacial lakes nestled between peaks about 2 hours into the flight.
