Which side of the plane to sit from Malta International Airport (Malta) to Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular departure over Valletta's Grand Harbour and consistently better views of the Mediterranean coastlines, including Sardinia and the French Riviera on clear days.
Valletta & Grand Harbour
A stunning aerial view of Malta's capital city and its historic fortifications immediately after takeoff.
Mount Etna
On clear days, the silhouette of Europe's most active volcano is visible in the distance to the east.
Costa Smeralda
The glitzy, emerald-colored coastline of northeastern Sardinia and the Strait of Bonifacio.
Camargue Delta
The unique salt pans and marshlands of the Rhone delta as the flight crosses into French airspace.
The Pink City
A direct view of Toulouse's terracotta rooftops and the Garonne river during the final approach.
Sit on the right for the iconic 'Malta departure' shot. For morning flights, you will have the sun behind you, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Sardinian coast and the French Mediterranean shoreline. Ensure your window is clean for the descent over Toulouse.
Mediterranean Expanse
Deep blue waters of the central Mediterranean shortly after departing the Maltese archipelago.
Egadi Islands
Views of the westernmost tip of Sicily, featuring Favignana and the surrounding turquoise waters.
Sardinian Hinterland
The rugged, mountainous interior and western cliffs of the island of Sardinia.
Pyrenees Vista
On the descent toward Toulouse, the snow-capped Pyrenees mountains are visible to the south.
Occitanie Countryside
The geometric patterns of French vineyards and agricultural fields as you approach TLS.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and for a chance to see the Pyrenees range on the horizon during the final 15 minutes of flight. It is also the side that often sees the sunset over the Balearic Sea.
