Amsterdam Cityscape
Unmatched views of the historic canal rings and the bustling city center shortly after takeoff from Schiphol.
The IJsselmeer
The massive closed-off inland bay and the famous Afsluitdijk dam visible to the northeast.
Moray Firth
The sparkling waters of the firth, known for its resident population of bottlenose dolphins.
The Black Isle
The fertile peninsula north of Inverness, appearing as a patchwork of green and gold fields against the sea.
Kessock Bridge
The iconic cable-stayed bridge connecting Inverness to the north, usually seen perfectly during the final turn to land.
The right side is best for seeing the transition from the flat Dutch polders to the rugged Scottish coast. On arrival, watch for Chanonry Point—a narrow spit of land in the Moray Firth where dolphins are often spotted from the air. This side also typically avoids direct glare from the sun on morning flights.
