SXF → AGP
Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the clear winner for this route, offering breathtaking views of the Mediterranean coastline, a perfect aerial perspective of Barcelona, and the majestic snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada during the final descent into Malaga.
Berlin Skyline
Catch glimpses of the TV Tower and Berlin's urban sprawl shortly after takeoff from the capital.
The Swiss Alps
Distant but clear views of the high Alpine peaks as the flight paths south through central Europe.
Gulf of Lion
The moment the aircraft reaches the Mediterranean, offering deep blue vistas of the French coastline.
Barcelona Cityscape
A stunning view of the Eixample grid system and the Sagrada Familia as you fly along the Catalan coast.
Sierra Nevada
Spain's highest mountain range, providing a dramatic backdrop of rugged peaks just before landing.
Seat yourself in the front or rear to avoid the wing for the best photos of Barcelona. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Mediterranean, though it can be bright, so sunglasses are recommended. The view of the Sierra Nevada is particularly striking in winter and spring when the peaks are covered in snow.
Thuringian Forest
The dense, rolling green hills of central Germany early in the flight.
Pyrenees Mountains
A direct crossing over the rugged, craggy border between France and Spain.
Lyon and Rhone Valley
Views of the historic French city and the winding river systems of the region.
Spanish Meseta
The vast, high-altitude plateau of central Spain with its unique golden and ochre hues.
Andalusian Olive Groves
The iconic 'sea of olives' pattern visible across the rolling hills of southern Spain during descent.
The right side is the 'cool side' for morning flights, avoiding direct sun glare. It provides a more terrestrial view of the European continent's diverse geography. Pay close attention during the middle of the flight for the sharp transition as you cross from the green French countryside over the Pyrenees into the arid Spanish interior.
