Malaga to London flight path: AGP to LGW

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Malaga to London. The right side wins on both ends of the flight and through the middle: it captures Malaga's coastline and mountains on departure, likely views over central Spain's Meseta and the Bay of Biscay coast during cruise, and a rare glimpse of London's skyline on the Gatwick approach, while the left side spends most of the flight over open water or flat interior plains.

During takeoff from Malaga (AGP), sit on the Right side for the best views. Departing AGP under the typical westerly Poniente flow, the jet climbs out over the Mediterranean before banking north toward the UK, putting Malaga city, its harbor, and the coastal Sierra de Mijas foothills on the right side of the aircraft. The left side only shows open Mediterranean water during this turn. Notable sights include: Malaga city and port, Costa del Sol coastline, Sierra de Mijas foothills, Mediterranean Sea.

When landing at Gatwick (LGW), sit on the Right side for the best views. On the common southeasterly arrival into Gatwick's runway 26, the aircraft crosses Surrey and Sussex before turning onto final, and passengers on the right side get a distant but clear view north toward the London skyline and the Thames corridor. The left side mainly faces the quieter Sussex Weald and North Downs countryside. Notable sights include: London skyline (Shard, Canary Wharf towers), Thames Estuary haze, North Downs ridge, Surrey/Sussex farmland.

The flight from Malaga (AGP) to Gatwick (LGW) takes 2h50m.

Sierra Nevada foothills near Granada, the flat Meseta Central plain around Madrid, the Atlantic-facing Bay of Biscay coastline near Bordeaux, and the English Channel crossing near the Isle of Wight/Solent
