Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panoramic experience, featuring the higher peaks of the Central Pyrenees and a dramatic approach past the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains before touching down on the Mediterranean coast.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏰

Luxembourg City

Aerial view of the historic fortifications and the deep Alzette river valley shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

The highest and most rugged section of the mountain range, including Aneto peak, visible during the border crossing.

🍷

La Rioja Region

Vibrant vineyard landscapes and the Ebro River winding through Northern Spain.

🏔️

Sierra Nevada

Dramatic views of the Mulhacén, mainland Spain's highest peak, often snow-capped during winter and spring.

🌊

Costa del Sol

The sparkling blue Mediterranean coastline and the port of Malaga during the final approach.

Book an early morning flight for the best lighting on the Pyrenees. In the afternoon, the sun will be on this side, potentially causing glare. Watch for the Sierra Nevada peaks about 20 minutes before landing, as they provide a stunning contrast to the arid landscapes below.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🌳

Ardennes Forest

Dense green canopies and rolling hills stretching across the border of Luxembourg and France.

⛰️

Western Pyrenees

Lush, green mountain ridges where the range descends toward the Atlantic Ocean.

🏛️

Madrid Plateau

The high, vast plains of the Meseta Central and distant views of the Spanish capital's skyline.

⛰️

Sierra de las Nieves

Rugged limestone mountains and white-washed villages (Pueblos Blancos) visible during descent into Malaga.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the plane, providing excellent visibility for the Spanish plateaus. Keep an eye out for the Rock of Gibraltar in the far distance if the flight path takes a more westerly descent into AGP.
