Which side of the plane to sit from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?

Our Recommendation

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

The Pyrenees

A stunning crossing of the rugged mountain range separating France and Spain shortly after takeoff.

🏜️

Serranía de Cuenca

Views of the unique karst rock formations and deep river gorges of east-central Spain.

❄️

Sierra Nevada

Breathtaking views of the Mulhacén peak, the highest in mainland Spain, often covered in snow.

🌊

Alboran Sea

The deep turquoise waters of the Mediterranean as the aircraft banks for its final approach.

Choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while capturing the best light on the Sierra Nevada peaks. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to catch the coastline. On exceptionally clear days, you may even spot the coast of Morocco on the horizon during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏭

Airbus Assembly Lines

A unique view of the massive aircraft manufacturing facilities at Toulouse-Blagnac during takeoff.

🌾

The Meseta

The vast, golden high-altitude plateau of central Spain with its characteristic agricultural patterns.

🏞️

Guadalquivir Valley

The fertile green plains leading toward the southern coast of Andalusia.

🏙️

Malaga Harbor

Views of the city's historic center, the Alcazaba, and the bustling port area during landing.

The right side is ideal for aviation enthusiasts wanting to see the Airbus hangars at the start of the trip. During the descent, this side offers better views of the Guadalhorce river valley and the outskirts of Malaga. Late afternoon flights on this side offer beautiful sunset views over the Spanish interior.
