Which side of the plane to sit from Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (Madrid) to A Coruña Airport (La Coruna)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Sierra de Guadarrama, the right side is superior for the arrival into A Coruña, typically offering a clear view of the city, the harbor, and the historic Tower of Hercules during the final approach.

Segovia Province
Distant views of the Castilian plateau where Segovia's historic silhouette sits.
Peñalara Peak
The highest point in the Sierra de Guadarrama, often snow-capped during winter months.
Ribeira Sacra
Deep canyons carved by the Sil and Miño rivers, famous for their steep terraced vineyards.
A Coruña Cityscape
The 'Glass City' architecture and the distinctive Isthmus layout of the city center.
Tower of Hercules
The world's oldest Roman lighthouse, visible on the headland during the final descent.
The right side is the 'money seat' for this route. Most flights perform a 180-degree turn over the Atlantic or the city to land facing south; during this maneuver, the right side provides a spectacular panorama of the Tower of Hercules and the harbor. Book a seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed photos of the Galician cliffs.

Bird's-eye view of the Cuatro Torres Business Area and the northern suburbs of the capital.
Sierra de Guadarrama
The rugged western peaks of the Central System, including the Siete Picos range.
Castilian Plains
Vast expanses of the Meseta Central with its characteristic golden and ochre hues.
Sanabria Lake
The largest glacial lake in the Iberian Peninsula, nestled in the mountains of Zamora.
Rias Baixas Horizon
As the plane turns for the approach, the distant jagged coastline of southern Galicia appears.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side offers excellent views of the Sanabria glacial park halfway through the flight. If the plane approaches LCG from the south without circling, this side provides the first glimpse of the Galician coastline.
