AMS β JKH
Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Chios Island National Airport (Chios)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the iconic Greek islands and the dramatic descent over the Aegean Sea into Chios.
Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of Southwestern Germany shortly after departure.
Swiss Alps
Spectacular views of high-altitude glaciers and the central Alpine range.
Mount Olympus
Greece's highest peak and the legendary home of the gods, often appearing above the clouds.
Sporades Islands
A chain of emerald islands including Skiathos and Skopelos dotting the Aegean blue.
Chios Mastichochoria
The unique medieval mastic villages and grid-like mastic groves visible during the final minutes of flight.
Book a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Aegean archipelago. The final 20 minutes of the flight are the most scenic as the aircraft weaves through the islands. For morning departures, this side provides much softer lighting for photography, avoiding the harsh glare from the eastern sun.
Bavarian Landscape
Lush green fields and forests of Southern Germany and the Bohemian Massif.
Austrian Alps
Jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Tyrol and Salzburg regions visible during the mid-flight segment.
Danube River
The winding blue ribbon of the Danube cutting through the Balkan Peninsula.
Turkish Coastline
The ΓeΕme peninsula and the rugged hills of the Δ°zmir province as the plane begins its final approach.
This side is ideal for travelers who enjoy the contrast between the high Alps and the Anatolian coastline. On late afternoon flights, the lighting over the Turkish mainland creates beautiful long shadows and golden hues. Watch for the city of Izmir in the distance as you drop altitude.
