Which side of the plane to sit from Copernicus Wrocław Airport (Wroclaw) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panoramic experience, featuring the majestic Alps, the shimmering Mediterranean coastline, and a dramatic descent alongside the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Left Side Highlights

🏔️

Sudetes Range

Early flight views of the Karkonosze mountains spanning the Polish-Czech border.

🏔️

Central Alps

Breathtaking panoramas of the high peaks of Switzerland and the Austrian Tyrol.

🌊

Mediterranean Entry

The stunning transition as the aircraft leaves mainland France and crosses the Balearic Sea.

🏙️

Barcelona Coastline

Excellent views of the Catalan capital and its distinct urban grid from the sea.

❄️

Sierra Nevada

The highest peaks in mainland Spain, often snow-capped, visible during the descent into Malaga.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Mediterranean. In winter, keep an eye out for the snow on the Sierra Nevada peaks roughly 20 minutes before landing. This side provides the best view of the coastline during the standard southern approach into Malaga.

Right Side Highlights

🌲

German Highlands

Verdant views of the central German forests and rolling hills early in the flight.

💧

Guadalquivir Basin

The winding rivers and fertile agricultural lands of the Andalusian interior.

The right side is perfect for observing the geological transition of the Pyrenees. Be aware that late afternoon flights may experience significant sun glare on this side as the plane heads southwest. During the final approach, you will see the rugged hills of the Montes de Málaga.
