AMS → GOT
Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Netherlands' reclaimed land, the engineering marvel of the Kiel Canal, and the scenic Danish islands before approaching the Swedish archipelago.
IJsselmeer & Afsluitdijk
The massive Dutch inland sea and the 32km dam that protects the country from flooding.
Kiel Canal
The world's busiest artificial waterway, visible as it cuts through the base of the Jutland peninsula.
Danish Belts
Clear views of the Great Belt Bridge and the scattered islands of the Danish archipelago.
Gothenburg Archipelago
As the plane descends into GOT, view the thousands of rocky granite islands dotting the Swedish coast.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the intricate geography of the Danish islands. Keep your camera ready about 35-40 minutes into the flight for the Kiel Canal crossing. During the final descent into Landvetter, the right side often gets a sweeping view of the forest-covered Swedish landscape.
Wadden Islands
Bird's-eye view of Texel, Vlieland, and the unique tidal patterns of the UNESCO Wadden Sea.
Jutland Coastline
The rugged western shore of Denmark, featuring long sandy beaches and coastal lagoons.
The Skagerrak
The transition from the North Sea into the straits leading toward the Baltic Sea.
Sit on the left if you are flying during a summer evening to catch a stunning sunset over the North Sea. This side is also better for spotting the Frisian Islands shortly after takeoff from Schiphol's northern runways.
