Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Bristol Airport (Bristol)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers clear views of the East Anglian coastline, the historic spires of Oxford, the rolling Cotswolds, and the spectacular Severn Bridges during the descent into Bristol.
Search flights from AMS to BRS
Offshore Wind Farms
Massive arrays of turbines visible in the North Sea during the crossing toward the UK.
Suffolk Coastline
The first sight of British land, often featuring the long shingle spits and estuaries of East Anglia.
Oxford Spires
The historic university city is a prominent landmark roughly mid-way through the UK transit.
The Cotswolds
Classic English countryside featuring patchworks of green fields and honey-colored stone villages.
Severn Bridges
The iconic suspension bridges spanning the Severn Estuary into Wales are visible during the final descent.
This side is best for morning flights as the sun will be behind you. The approach into Bristol often involves a turn over the Severn Estuary; keep your camera ready for the engineering marvel of the Prince of Wales Bridge. Look for the Clifton Suspension Bridge if the plane approaches from the west.

North Sea Canal
Aerial view of the massive canal connecting Amsterdam to the sea immediately after takeoff.
Greater London
Distant but often clear views of the London skyline and the meandering River Thames.
Windsor Castle
The world's oldest and largest occupied castle is frequently visible if the flight path tracks south of the M4.
City of Bath
The golden-hued Roman city and its iconic Royal Crescent appear just minutes before landing.
Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction. On clear days, the urban sprawl of London provides a massive landmark to the south. During the final approach to Runway 27, look for the Mendip Hills and the distinctive yellow-stone architecture of Bath.
