LPL → AGP
Which side of the plane to sit from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a diverse visual palette, starting with the dramatic peaks of Snowdonia in Wales and transitioning to the expansive Atlantic vistas of the Bay of Biscay and the rugged Picos de Europa in Northern Spain.
Snowdonia National Park
Spectacular views of Wales' highest peaks, including Snowdon, shortly after clearing the Wirral.
Bay of Biscay
A long stretch of deep blue Atlantic waters, often showcasing dramatic cloud formations and sea spray.
Picos de Europa
The jagged limestone spires of Northern Spain's most famous mountain range as you cross the Spanish coast.
Castilian Plateau
The vast, arid, ochre-colored landscapes of central Spain, offering a stark contrast to the green north.
Costa del Sol
A stunning panoramic view of the Mediterranean coastline and Malaga's port as the plane turns for its final approach.
The right side is unbeatable for evening flights, offering a front-row seat to the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean and the Bay of Biscay. Keep an eye out for the rugged coastline of Brittany, France, midway through the flight. As you approach Malaga, look for the Rock of Gibraltar which can sometimes be seen protruding on the horizon to the southwest.
Liverpool Waterfront
Immediate views of the Mersey Estuary and the historic Liverpool skyline upon departure.
English Countryside
Aerial patchwork of the Cheshire plains and the rolling hills of the English Midlands.
English Channel
Sightings of major shipping lanes and the transition into French airspace over the Normandy coast.
Bordeaux Region
Bird's-eye view of the famous French vineyards and the Garonne river winding through the landscape.
Sierra Nevada
Distant views of the snow-capped peaks of southern Spain's highest mountain range during descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. During the final descent into Malaga, look out for the white-washed villages (Pueblos Blancos) scattered across the Andalusian hills. This side is also better for spotting the sprawling urban landscape of Madrid if the flight path tracks centrally through the Iberian Peninsula.
