TMPAGP

Which side of the plane to sit from Tampere-Pirkkala Airport (Tampere) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean coastline as you approach Spain, followed by the dramatic Sierra Nevada mountains before landing.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Baltic Sea & Gotland

Clear views of the Baltic Sea and the Swedish island of Gotland shortly after departure from Finland.

🏔️

Distant Alps

On clear days, the northern ridge of the Alps can be seen in the distance while traversing Central Europe.

🏖️

Mediterranean Coast

As the flight reaches Spain, enjoy views of the Costa Brava, Barcelona, and the turquoise waters of the Balearic Sea.

❄️

Sierra Nevada

Breathtaking views of mainland Spain's highest peaks, often snow-capped, as the plane begins its descent into Malaga.

🏘️

Pueblos Blancos

Spot the iconic white-washed villages nestled in the Andalusian hills during the final approach.

Book an afternoon flight to avoid the direct morning sun glare on this side. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the high mountain peaks and the sea. If the plane approaches from the East, you will get a perfect view of the Malaga city center and the port.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Archipelago Sea

Incredible aerial views of the thousands of islands making up the Finnish archipelago right after takeoff from Tampere.

⛰️

The Pyrenees

A spectacular crossing of the rugged mountain range that forms the natural border between France and Spain.

🏜️

Spanish Meseta

The vast, golden-brown high plains of central Spain, offering a unique 'stepping stone' landscape perspective.

⛳

Costa del Sol Golf Courses

Dozens of lush green golf courses appearing like emerald patches against the dry Andalusian landscape.

The right side is excellent for morning flights as you'll be in the shade. It provides the best view of the Pyrenees crossing. Upon landing, depending on the wind direction, you may see the Gibraltar rock in the far distance if the plane makes a wide loop over the Mediterranean before touching down.
