Costa del Sol Approach

As the plane banks for Malaga, enjoy sweeping views of the turquoise Mediterranean Sea and coastal resorts.

Sit on the left for the best morning light on the Pyrenees. During the final approach, the aircraft often turns over the sea, giving left-side passengers an unobstructed view of the coastline and the Alboran Sea. In winter, the Sierra Nevada peaks are particularly striking.
