Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Exeter International Airport (Exeter)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the English South Coast, including the Isle of Wight and the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast, ending with a scenic approach over the Exe Estuary.
Dutch Coastline & Polders
View the intricate network of canals, dikes, and the massive industrial Port of Rotterdam during the initial climb.
The English Channel
Spot the world's busiest shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the Kentish coast as you cross into UK airspace.
Isle of Wight
Identify the distinct diamond shape of the island and the iconic white chalk stacks known as The Needles.
Jurassic Coast
A stunning stretch of 95 miles of coastline showing 185 million years of geological history in the red and white cliffs.
Exe Estuary
During the final descent, enjoy views of this significant wetland area where the River Exe meets the sea.
The left side is the prime choice for coastal geography. For morning flights, bring sunglasses as the sun will be on this side of the aircraft. During descent, look specifically for the red sandstone cliffs near Sidmouth, which signal you are minutes from landing.
Amsterdam Skyline
On departure, catch a glimpse of the canal rings and the dense urban layout of the Dutch capital.
North Sea Wind Farms
Observe the massive scale of offshore renewable energy projects dotting the water between the Netherlands and England.
Greater London
Depending on the northernly offset of the flight path, the skyline of London, including the Shard and Canary Wharf, is often visible.
Salisbury Plain
Look out for the vast, open chalk plateaus and the historic military landscapes of Wiltshire.
East Devon Hills
The rolling green pastures and patchwork fields of the Devon countryside as the plane aligns with the runway.
The right side is ideal for those who prefer avoiding direct sunlight when flying westward. It offers a better chance to see the sprawling urban landscape of London to the south. Keep your eyes peeled for Stonehenge in the distance when passing over the Wiltshire area.
