Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Boryspil International Airport (Kiev)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is preferred for its views of the North Sea coastline, the German capital, and the expansive Kiev Reservoir upon arrival, all while benefiting from better lighting conditions on an eastbound journey.

Wadden Islands
Coastal wetlands and sandy banks along the Dutch and German North Sea coast.
Port of Hamburg
Europe's massive shipping gateway and the winding Elbe river estuary.
Berlin Sprawl
Distant views of the historic landmarks and dense urban layout of the German capital.
Vistula Valley
The serpentine meanders of Poland's longest river flowing through the plains.
Kiev Sea
The vast reservoir north of the Ukrainian capital providing a dramatic entry.
Sit on the left for softer lighting and views of the Kiev Sea. Early flight phases offer glimpses of the Dutch coast. Afternoon flights provide the best illumination for the Polish plains and the final descent. In winter, look for frozen patterns on the large reservoirs near Kiev.
