NOC → AGP
Which side of the plane to sit from Ireland West Knock Airport (Connaught) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Irish Atlantic coastline during departure and the spectacular transition from the rugged northern Spanish coast to the Mediterranean shores of the Costa del Sol.
Croagh Patrick
Ireland's holy mountain and the stunning islands of Clew Bay visible immediately after departure.
Wild Atlantic Way
Dramatic views of the Shannon Estuary and the rugged cliffs of the Kerry coastline before crossing the sea.
Cantabrian Coastline
The first sight of Spain usually features the emerald green mountains and jagged cliffs of Asturias or Cantabria.
Extremadura Dehesa
Unique oak-spotted grazing lands and arid red-earth landscapes characteristic of western Spain.
Costa del Sol
A breathtaking sweep of the Mediterranean coastline and the upscale resorts of Marbella as you bank toward AGP.
The right side is unbeatable for coastal scenery. For the best experience, sit well clear of the wing to capture the Picos de Europa mountains when entering Spanish airspace. On evening flights, this side enjoys spectacular sunsets over the Atlantic and the Iberian Peninsula.
Irish Midlands
Expansive views of the lush, green drumlin landscapes of Roscommon and Westmeath shortly after takeoff.
Cork Harbour
One of the world's largest natural harbors and the historic port of Cobh visible as you exit Irish airspace.
Sistema Central
The snow-capped peaks of the mountains north of Madrid visible while cruising over central Spain.
Toledo & La Mancha
Aerial perspectives of the historic plains and medieval fortifications of central Spain.
Málaga City & Port
Excellent views of the Alcazaba, Cathedral, and the bustling Mediterranean port during the final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and for the best view of Málaga city center if the plane approaches from the north. Keep an eye out for the historic city of Seville in the distance to the south-east during the mid-flight descent phase.
