VKO → AGP
Which side of the plane to sit from Vnukovo International Airport (Moscow) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the Mediterranean coastline, the stunning Sierra Nevada mountain range upon descent, and the crystal-clear waters of the Costa del Sol.
Moscow Outskirts
View the vast urban sprawl and forest belts surrounding Vnukovo as you climb to cruising altitude.
Central European Vistas
Glimpse the historic landscapes of Poland and Czechia depending on the specific flight corridor.
The Alps (Distant)
On clear days, see the distant jagged peaks of the Alps to the south while transiting Central Europe.
Mediterranean Coastline
Enjoy panoramic views of the French Riviera and the Spanish Costa Brava as the flight turns south.
Sierra Nevada
Marvel at mainland Spain's highest peaks, often snow-capped, as you approach the Andalusia region.
Costa del Sol
A beautiful view of the turquoise Mediterranean Sea and the beaches of Malaga during the final approach.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be on the opposite side, illuminating the Sierra Nevada and the coastline perfectly for photography. Watch for the transition from the lush green of Europe to the arid, golden tones of southern Spain.
Eastern European Forests
Look down over the dense, expansive woodlands of Belarus and eastern Poland.
The European Heartland
Views of the rolling hills and structured agricultural patterns of Germany and France.
The Pyrenees
Spot the natural border between France and Spain, featuring rugged terrain and deep valleys.
The Spanish Meseta
Observe the unique, arid high plateau of central Spain with its distinct earthy color palette.
Pueblos Blancos
Spot the famous white-washed villages nestled in the Andalusian hills during the descent into AGP.
The right side is excellent for catching the sunset if flying on a late afternoon or evening schedule. During the day, the glare can be intense, so keep your shades down until you reach the Spanish interior. Keep an eye out for the geometric patterns of the olive groves in Andalusia during the final 20 minutes of flight.
