Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the highest peaks of the Pyrenees, the sprawling Spanish interior, and a more scenic approach over the Mediterranean Sea as the aircraft aligns for landing at AGP.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Rotterdam and Delft

Immediate views of the Dutch urban landscape, including the modern architecture of Rotterdam and the historic canals of Delft.

🗼

Parisian Periphery

On clear central routes, catch a glimpse of the sprawling Paris metropolitan area and the meandering Seine River.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

Spectacular views of the highest massifs in the Pyrenees range, often snow-capped well into late spring.

🌾

La Mancha Plains

The vast, arid landscapes of central Spain, characterized by unique circular irrigation patterns and historic towns.

🌊

Costa del Sol

A stunning final approach typically involves a turn over the Alboran Sea, offering panoramic views of the Malaga coastline and harbor.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 20 minutes of the flight when the plane often circles over the Mediterranean before landing, providing a full view of the city's waterfront.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🚢

Port of Rotterdam

Incredible views of the Maasvlakte and one of the largest shipping ports in the world during the initial climb.

🏗️

Zeeland Delta Works

Aerial perspective of the complex Dutch sea defenses and the various islands of the Zeeland province.

🏖️

Bay of Biscay Coast

Views of the rugged French Atlantic coast near Biarritz and the start of the Spanish Basque Country.

⛰️

Sierra de Guadarrama

Rugged mountain scenery north of Madrid, providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding Spanish plateau.

🏜️

Andalusian Mountains

Deep valleys and rocky ridges of the Montes de Málaga as the aircraft descends toward the airport.

The right side is excellent for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic and the Spanish Sierras. It also offers the best view of the massive industrial scale of the Rotterdam harbor immediately after takeoff from RTM.
