HAU → AGP
Which side of the plane to sit from Haugesund Airport (Haugesund) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the European continent, including the transition from the Norwegian fjords, the dramatic crossing of the Pyrenees, and the high-altitude peaks of the Sierra Nevada near Malaga.
Haugaland Coastline
Striking aerial views of the rugged Norwegian archipelago and fjords immediately after takeoff from HAU.
Benelux Coastline
A clear view of the intricate Dutch Delta and the busy shipping lanes along the Belgian coast.
The Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing of the mountain range separating France and Spain, featuring sharp, snow-dusted peaks.
Madrid Region
Depending on the flight path, the sprawl of the Spanish capital and the arid landscapes of central Spain.
Sierra Nevada Mountains
Breathtaking views of the highest peaks in mainland Spain as you enter Andalusia.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side provides the best perspective of the Sierra Nevada range during the descent into Malaga. Keep an eye out for the Pyrenees roughly 2.5 hours into the flight. In winter, the contrast between the snowy mountains and the dry Spanish interior is particularly stunning.
North Sea & Atlantic
Expansive views of the open ocean and the deep blue waters of the Bay of Biscay.
Brittany Peninsula
The westernmost tip of France, showcasing rugged cliffs and the lighthouse-dotted coastline.
Extremadura Landscapes
The vast, golden plains and olive groves of western Spain during the mid-flight segment.
Costa del Sol Coastline
A beautiful view of the Mediterranean shoreline and the approach to Malaga airport over the sea.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights, offering a beautiful view of the horizon over the Atlantic and the Bay of Biscay. During the final approach to AGP, this side often provides a better view of the Mediterranean beaches. If the visibility is high, you may even catch a glimpse of the Rock of Gibraltar to the southwest before turning toward the runway.
