Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of rugged Moroccan mountain terrain at takeoff, a traverse over the Spanish interior, and a scenic approach over the European heartland toward the Dutch polders.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Anti-Atlas Range

Dramatic, sun-scorched mountains and deep valleys visible immediately after taking off from Agadir.

πŸ”οΈ

High Atlas Peaks

Snow-capped summits including Mount Toubkal visible in the distance to the northeast during the early climb.

πŸ₯˜

Spanish Meseta

The vast central plateau of Spain, characterized by reddish earth and geometric agricultural patterns.

πŸ—Ό

Parisian Basin

On clear routes, the sprawling metropolitan area of Paris can be identified in the distance over central France.

πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺ

Low Countries

The dense urban clusters of Brussels and Antwerp as the flight crosses into Belgian airspace.

🌷

Dutch Polders

The iconic reclaimed land, canals, and perfectly organized fields of the Netherlands during the final approach.

Morning flights are ideal for this side to see the sun illuminating the Atlas Mountains. Keep your eyes peeled 20 minutes before landing for the Port of Rotterdam and the intricate water management systems that define the Dutch landscape. If approaching Schiphol from the south, you'll get a great view of the Amsterdam city center.
