Which side of the plane to sit from Tripoli International Airport (Tripoli) to Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (Madrid)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Balearic Islands, the Mediterranean coastline of Valencia, and a sweeping panoramic view of the Madrid metropolitan area upon approach.
Mediterranean Deep Blue
Vibrant turquoise waters near the Libyan coast transitioning to deep sapphire in the open sea.
Balearic Islands
Distant views of Ibiza and Formentera during the mid-flight cruise over the Mediterranean.
Costa Blanca
The white sandy beaches and tourist resorts near the Valencia and Alicante regions.
Albufera Natural Park
The large freshwater lagoon and surrounding rice fields located just south of Valencia city.
Madrid Cityscape
Stunning views of the Cuatro Torres Business Area and the city's dense urban core during descent.
Book a morning flight to avoid the glare of the western sun. This side provides the best chance to see the Balearic Islands. Seat yourself mid-cabin or rear to ensure the wing doesn't block the view of the Albufera lagoon and the Madrid skyline.
Tripoli Shoreline
Aerial view of the ancient city and the Port of Tripoli immediately after takeoff.
Mediterranean Crossing
Observation of major shipping lanes and the deep blue expanse of the sea.
Spanish Meseta
The high-altitude plains of central Spain with their characteristic red and ochre earth tones.
Serranía de Cuenca
Dramatic limestone rock formations and deep river canyons of the Iberian System.
Madrid Suburbs
Vast residential areas and green spaces of the southern Madrid metropolitan belt.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be positioned behind you, highlighting the textures of the Spanish plateau. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain as you transition from the Mediterranean Sea to the rugged Spanish interior.
