Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most dramatic geographic features, including the highest peaks of the Alps, the Pyrenees crossing, and the stunning Sierra Nevada range during the approach into Malaga.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Swiss Alps & Mont Blanc

Close-up views of the highest peaks in Europe, including the majestic Mont Blanc massif.

🍇

Rhône Valley

The winding Rhône River and the famous vineyard regions of southeastern France.

⛰️

The Pyrenees

A dramatic crossing over the high-altitude border between France and Spain.

🏜️

Spanish Meseta

The vast, rust-colored high plateau of central Spain with its unique agricultural patterns.

❄️

Sierra Nevada

The snow-capped Mulhacén peak, the highest on mainland Spain, visible during the final descent.

The right side is essential for seeing the Sierra Nevada mountains near Malaga. For the best photography of the Alps, mid-day flights provide the most even lighting. During the descent, the aircraft often turns over the Alboran Sea, providing a panoramic view of the Malaga port and city for those on the right.

Balearic Islands

On clear days, the distant silhouettes of Ibiza and Formentera can be spotted to the southeast.

🏖️

Costa Blanca

Bird's-eye view of the white sandy beaches and high-rise resorts around Benidorm and Alicante.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. Keep an eye out for the North African coastline (Rif Mountains) appearing on the horizon just before the descent into Malaga if visibility is high.
