Which side of the plane to sit from Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (Madrid) to Tripoli International Airport (Tripoli)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Spanish interior, the distant snow-capped Sierra Nevada, and the dramatic transition from the Mediterranean Sea to the Saharan landscapes of North Africa.

La Mancha Plains
The golden agricultural patchwork of central Spain, famous for its windmills and vast horizons.
Sierra Nevada Peaks
Breathtaking distant views of the Mulhacén, the highest peak in mainland Spain, often covered in snow.
Algerian Coastline
Visuals of the rugged North African cliffs and the Tell Atlas mountains as the plane nears the African continent.
Sahara Fringes
The striking color shift from Mediterranean blue to the ochre and gold sands of the Libyan desert near Tripoli.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to witness spectacular sunsets over the Mediterranean. During the winter months, the contrast between the snowy Spanish peaks and the African desert is particularly photogenic.

Madrid Metropolis
Panoramic views of the Spanish capital's skyline and the Cuatro Torres Business Area shortly after takeoff.
Balearic Archipelago
On a clear day and a northern route, the islands of Ibiza and Formentera may be visible as turquoise gems in the sea.
Mediterranean Expanse
Deep blue waters with frequent sightings of cargo ships and tankers traversing the busy shipping lanes toward the Suez Canal.
Tripoli Harbor
Final approach views of the historic Tripoli Port and the Mediterranean coastline of Libya.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides excellent views of the Libyan coastline during the descent if the wind requires an approach from the east.
