TRDAGP

Which side of the plane to sit from Trondheim Airport Værnes (Trondheim) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Norwegian fjords shortly after takeoff and provides a spectacular crossing over the Pyrenees mountains entering Spain.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Norwegian Fjordland

Breathtaking views of the deep inlets and coastal archipelago of Western Norway.

🚢

English Channel/Biscay

Views of the busy shipping lanes and the rugged Atlantic coastline of France.

⛰️

The Pyrenees

A dramatic crossing of the high-altitude border between France and Spain.

🏜️

Spanish Meseta

The vast, arid, and colorful central plateau of Spain with its unique agricultural patterns.

🏗️

Malaga Port

A clear view of the city center, the Alcazaba, and the modern port area during landing.

The right side is ideal for photographers; the crossing of the Pyrenees is the scenic peak of the journey. In winter, look for the stark contrast between the green North and the sun-baked Spanish interior. Ensure you have a window seat ahead of the wing to capture the Norwegian coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Dovrefjell National Park

View the rugged interior mountains of Norway shortly after departure from Trondheim.

🏙️

Northern European Plains

Aerial perspectives of the dense urban layouts of Belgium and Northern France.

🌋

Massif Central

The ancient volcanic landscapes and rolling hills of Southern France.

❄️

Sierra Nevada (Spain)

The snow-capped peaks of the Mulhacén range visible during the descent into Andalusia.

🏖️

Costa del Sol

The sweeping curve of the Mediterranean coastline during the final approach to Malaga.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 30 minutes of the flight when the Sierra Nevada mountains and the Mediterranean coastline come into view.
