Which side of the plane to sit from Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the most dramatic geographic transitions, including the snow-capped Alps and the sparkling Mediterranean coastline.
Moscow Cityscape
Aerial views of the sprawling Russian capital and the Khimki Reservoir immediately after takeoff.
Central Alps
A magnificent traverse over the jagged, snow-capped peaks of Switzerland and the French Alps.
French Riviera
The azure waters of the Mediterranean coast near Nice and Marseille are often visible in the distance.
Eastern Pyrenees
The high mountain border between France and Spain, featuring rugged ridges and deep valleys.
Costa Blanca
The white sandy beaches and turquoise waters stretching from Valencia down toward Alicante.
Sierra Nevada
Spain's highest mountain range, including the Mulhacén peak, shortly before descending into Malaga.
For the best experience, select a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alps, which usually appear 2.5 to 3 hours into the flight. On daytime flights, the sun will be on this side, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended. In winter, the contrast between the snowy Sierra Nevada and the warm Malaga coast is a must-see.
European Heartland
Vast stretches of Polish and German agricultural mosaics and historical town centers.
The Black Forest
Dense, dark green forest canopies of southwestern Germany near the French border.
Rhone Valley
The geometric precision of world-renowned French vineyards following the path of the Rhone River.
Spanish Meseta
The high, arid, and reddish-brown plateau that dominates the interior of the Iberian Peninsula.
Rock of Gibraltar
On clear days and depending on the approach pattern, the iconic limestone monolith can be spotted to the west.
Strait of Gibraltar
Views of the narrow passage where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, with the Moroccan coast on the horizon.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over Western Europe. As you approach Malaga, if the aircraft performs a southern approach over the sea, look out for the distant silhouette of the African continent. This side generally suffers less from direct sun glare during the southbound journey.
