Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the most scenic part of the journey: the crossing of the Adriatic Sea with views of the Croatian islands, the central Italian Apennines, and the deep blue Mediterranean before reaching the Spanish coastline.

Dinaric Alps
The rugged karst mountain range stretching across the Balkans as you leave the Romanian border.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Hundreds of white-stone islands and turquoise waters along the stunning Croatian coastline.
Central Apennines
The mountainous spine of Italy, often snow-capped in winter, offering dramatic peaks and valleys.
Tyrrhenian Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water as you cross from Italy towards the Iberian Peninsula.
Balearic Horizon
Distant views of the islands of Ibiza and Formentera floating on the Mediterranean horizon.
La Mancha Plains
The vast, golden agricultural heartland of central Spain appearing as you approach Madrid.
Sit on the left for morning flights to catch the sun illuminating the Adriatic islands. This side is also best for seeing the city outskirts and southern parks of Madrid during standard landing patterns on runways 32L or 32R. Keep your window shade down during the mid-flight Mediterranean crossing to avoid intense glare from the southern sun.

Distant Alps
On clear days, the massive, snow-covered peaks of the European Alps are visible far to the north.
Po Valley
The lush, green agricultural plains of Northern Italy visible in the distance across the Adriatic.
Spanish Levant Coast
The rugged coastline near Valencia and Castellon where the flight typically enters Spanish airspace.
Serranía de Cuenca
Unique limestone rock formations and deep river gorges as you descend over the Castilla-La Mancha region.
Barajas Approach
Excellent views of the futuristic Terminal 4 and the Jarama River valley during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for passengers who prefer indirect light, making it easier to take photos without sun glare. It offers a better chance to see the distant Pyrenees or the French coast depending on the specific airway taken. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain from the blue sea to the reddish-brown canyons of eastern Spain about 30 minutes before landing.
