MRS → AGP
Which side of the plane to sit from Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular sequence of terrestrial landmarks including the Rhone Delta, the Pyrenees, and the high peaks of the Sierra Nevada before landing.
Camargue Wetlands
The unique salt pans and lagoons of the Rhone Delta, known for its pink hues and wild horses.
The Pyrenees
The dramatic mountain range forming the border between France and Spain, often snow-capped during winter and spring.
Montserrat
The distinctive multi-peaked mountain range near Barcelona with its famous monastery perched on the cliffs.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks of mainland Spain, including Mulhacén, visible shortly before the descent into Málaga.
Málaga City Center
A clear view of the Alcazaba fortress, the Cathedral, and the Bullring during the final approach into AGP.
The right side is superior for geographic variety. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the Pyrenees and again roughly 25 minutes before landing for the Sierra Nevada. Afternoon flights provide warm, golden light on the Spanish mountainside, making it the ideal time for photography.
Marseille Coastline
Aerial view of the Calanques and the city's rugged Mediterranean waterfront immediately after takeoff.
Frioul Archipelago
A group of four islands visible as the plane turns southwest over the Gulf of Lion.
Costa Brava
Distances views of the rugged Catalan coastline and the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.
Costa Blanca
The white sandy stretches of the Alicante region visible during the mid-flight segment.
Alboran Sea
The westernmost part of the Mediterranean, often dotted with cargo ships heading toward the Strait of Gibraltar.
Sit on the left if you prefer endless sea horizons and the shimmering reflection of the sun on the water. For the best lighting, choose a morning flight to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side is also excellent for spotting cruise ships and tankers navigating the Spanish coastal routes.
