AMS โ JER
Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Jersey Airport (Jersey)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the European coastline, featuring the intricate Dutch delta, the French 'Opal Coast', and the historic beaches of Normandy before the approach into Jersey.
Zeeland Delta
View the massive storm surge barriers and the complex network of islands in the southwestern Netherlands.
Cรดte d'Opale
The dramatic white cliffs near Calais and the rolling dunes of northern France are clearly visible after crossing the North Sea.
Le Havre Port
One of France's largest ports and the mouth of the River Seine as it enters the English Channel.
Cotentin Peninsula
The rugged shoreline of Normandy near Cherbourg, featuring deep blue waters and rocky outcrops.
Saint Helier Coast
As the plane turns for its final approach, enjoy views of Jersey's capital and the southern sandy bays.
Sit behind the wing to capture the French coastline. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the colors of the Normandy coast. Keep an eye out for the D-Day landing beaches between Le Havre and Cherbourg.
The English Channel
Observe one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, often filled with large cargo vessels and ferries.
South Coast England
On clear days, the distant coastline of Kent and East Sussex, including Beachy Head, can be spotted across the water.
Channel Island Chain
Distant views of Alderney, Sark, and Herm as the aircraft begins its descent into the archipelago.
Corbiรจre Lighthouse
An iconic sight on the southwestern tip of Jersey during the final moments of flight.
The right side is best for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. While much of the flight is over water, it provides the best perspective of the other Channel Islands and the dramatic cliffs of Jersey's northern shore during the descent.
