Which side of the plane to sit from Malpensa International Airport (Milano) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the most iconic landmarks of Southern Europe, including the highest peaks of the Alps, the glamorous French Riviera, and the entire Spanish Mediterranean coastline.
Western Alps
Breathtaking views of Mont Blanc and the snow-capped peaks of the Aosta Valley immediately after departure.
French Riviera
A stunning panorama of the Côte d'Azur, including Nice, Cannes, and the rugged Esterel Massif.
Barcelona & Costa Brava
The distinct urban grid of Barcelona and the rocky coves of the Catalan coastline are often visible.
Peñíscola
The 'Gibraltar of Valencia,' a historic Templar castle sitting on a peninsula jutting into the sea.
Sierra Nevada
The highest peaks of mainland Spain, often snow-covered, visible near Granada during the descent phase.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to have the sun behind the aircraft, illuminating the coastline perfectly. Keep your camera ready in the first 15 minutes for the Alps and the last 20 minutes for the dramatic approach over the Andalusian mountains and Malaga's coastline.
Milan Cityscape
Aerial views of the Lombardy capital and the San Siro stadium shortly after takeoff from Malpensa.
The Mediterranean Blue
Vast, uninterrupted views of the deep azure Balearic and Alboran Seas for much of the cruise.
Balearic Islands
On clear days, the silhouettes of Ibiza and Formentera may appear on the distant southern horizon.
Port of Malaga
Close-up views of the Mediterranean cruise terminals and cargo ships during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. This side is ideal for passengers who prefer the calming aesthetics of the open sea and want a smoother visual experience without the distraction of complex terrain.
