KRK → AGP
Which side of the plane to sit from Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean coastline, including the French Riviera and the Costa Brava, ending with a stunning approach past the Sierra Nevada mountains into Andalusia.
Kraków & Vistula
Immediate views of the historic Old Town and the winding Vistula River after departure from KRK.
High Tatras
Distant but sharp views of the jagged peaks on the Polish-Slovak border during the initial climb.
French Riviera
Stunning aerial perspectives of the Côte d'Azur, including the cities of Nice and Cannes as you track toward Spain.
Costa del Sol Approach
Continuous views of the turquoise Mediterranean coastline during the descent toward Málaga.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks of mainland Spain, often snow-capped, visible just before landing at AGP.
The left side is superior for coastal landmarks. On morning flights, expect some sun glare, but the reward is a front-row seat to the French and Spanish coastlines. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, stay alert for the Mulhacén peak in the Sierra Nevada range.
Western Alps
Glimpses of the Swiss and French Alps, often including distant views of Mont Blanc depending on the airway.
Occitanie Region
The rugged landscapes of Southern France, passing near the historic fortresses of the Languedoc area.
Pyrenees Mountains
A dramatic crossing of the high mountain border between France and Spain, showing deep valleys and rocky ridges.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, golden-hued high plateau of central Spain, offering a unique contrast to the coastal regions.
Rock of Gibraltar
If the flight approaches AGP from the west (Runway 13), you may catch a distant view of the famous 'Rock' and the African coastline.
The right side is ideal for mountain lovers, providing the best views of the Pyrenees crossing. This side typically has less direct sunlight during southbound morning flights, making it easier to take photos without cabin reflections. Watch for the change from green French forests to the arid Spanish interior.
