Brittany Coastline
Stunning views of the rugged French coast and the islands of the Bay of Biscay during the transit across Western Europe.
Picos de Europa
Dramatic limestone massifs of the Cantabrian Mountains are clearly visible as the flight enters Spanish airspace.
The Meseta
The vast, golden high plateau of central Spain offers a unique geometric patchwork of agricultural fields.
Malaga Port and City
On the standard approach to Runway 13, the right side gets a front-row seat to the Cathedral, the Alcazaba, and the bustling harbor.
Choose the right side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic and the Spanish interior. For the most iconic arrival experience, the right side provides the best view of the Malaga coastline and city center during the final turn toward the airport.

Windsor Castle
Visible shortly after takeoff from LHR if departing westward, providing a royal glimpse of the historic residence.
Central Madrid
On many flight paths, the left side provides a distant view of the Cuatro Torres Business Area and the urban sprawl of the Spanish capital.
Sierra Nevada
As the plane begins its descent into Andalusia, the snow-capped peaks of mainland Spain's highest range appear to the southeast.
Alboran Sea
Vast turquoise waters of the Mediterranean come into view as the aircraft maneuvers for its final approach into Malaga.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun, which will be on the right. This side is also better for spotting the high-altitude peaks of the Sierra Nevada during the winter months when they are covered in snow.
