Search flights from AMS to HOG
Southern England
Clear views of the rolling green hills and the jagged coastline of Devon or Cornwall.
The Bahamas
Incredible views of the Great Bahama Bank, where deep blue waters meet neon-turquoise shallows.
Guardalavaca Beaches
Spot the famous white sand beaches of the Holguin province as the aircraft aligns for its final approach.
Gibara Coast
The historic 'White Village' of Gibara can often be seen on the northern coast of Cuba just before landing.
Choose the right side for the 'wow' factor over the Caribbean. The transition from the dark Atlantic to the bright Bahamian reefs is best captured here. Aim for a window seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion for photos.
Book Hotels in Holguin
Dutch Coastline
View the intricate system of dikes, polders, and the North Sea beaches shortly after takeoff.
English Channel
Spot busy maritime traffic and the distant silhouette of the French coastline depending on the flight path.
Turks and Caicos
Occasional distant views of the southeastern Caribbean islands during the oceanic transition.
Sierra Cristal Mountains
The lush, rugged mountain ranges of eastern Cuba become visible during the final descent into Holguin.
The left side benefits from the sun being behind or above the plane for much of the westbound journey, reducing glare. It offers excellent views of the southern English coast if the flight takes a more southerly route.
