Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Malta to Valencia. The right side captures Malta's dramatic rocky archipelago during departure, which is more visually distinctive than Valencia's urban approach. However, if you prioritize the landing view, left seats offer the striking Turia park and Albufera lagoon.

During takeoff from Luqa (MLA), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of Malta's distinctive coastline and the Maltese archipelago as you climb out.

Notable sights include: Malta's limestone cliffs and rocky coastline, Gozo island to the northwest, Comino island, Mediterranean Sea.

When landing at Valencia (VLC), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during descent into Valencia. You'll see the Turia riverbed (now a park) cutting through the city center, the coastal lagoons south of the city, and the Mediterranean coastline as you approach from the east. Notable sights include: Turia riverbed and park running through Valencia's center, Albufera lagoon south of the city, Mediterranean coastline, Valencia's urban sprawl.

The flight from Luqa (MLA) to Valencia (VLC) takes 1h 25m.

The flight crosses the central Mediterranean Sea. You'll pass over open water with no major landmarks visible for most of the journey. The Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza) lie to the north of this direct route and won't be visible. As you approach the Spanish coast, the low-lying coastal plains of eastern Spain and the Turia river valley become visible before landing.
