Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Malta to Brussels. Right-side seats capture the most visually distinctive scenery: the dramatic Mediterranean islands and coastline during departure are more striking than the relatively flat Belgian countryside on approach. The takeoff views over Malta's archipelago offer more dramatic visual interest than the landing approach over farmland.

During takeoff from Luqa (MLA), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of Malta's coastline and the Maltese archipelago during climb-out. The aircraft departs northwestward, so right-side windows face the Mediterranean Sea and nearby islands including Gozo and Comino. Notable sights include: Mediterranean Sea, Gozo Island, Comino Island, Malta's northern coastline.

When landing at Brussels Natl (BRU), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide views during the descent approach into Brussels. Aircraft approach from the south/southeast, so left windows face the Belgian countryside, the Meuse River valley, and suburban Brussels with its urban sprawl and landmarks. Notable sights include: Meuse River valley, Belgian agricultural plains, Brussels urban area, Ardennes plateau (distant).

The flight from Luqa (MLA) to Brussels Natl (BRU) takes Approximately 3 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the central Mediterranean, passing over open sea with no major landmarks visible for roughly 2 hours. The aircraft will pass east of Sardinia and west of Sicily (both typically too distant to see clearly at cruise altitude). As the flight progresses northward over Italy and into France, the Alps become visible on the eastern horizon during the latter portion of cruise, though they remain distant. The flight then crosses into Belgian airspace over the Ardennes region before descending toward Brussels.
