Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the Swiss Alps, the stunning Dalmatian coastline of Croatia, and a bird's-eye view of the Greek islands scattered across the Aegean Sea.
Rhine Valley
Aerial views of the historic Rhine River and its surrounding German vineyards.
Swiss Alps
Spectacular views of the Jungfrau region and massive glaciers if the path sits west.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate network of Croatian islands dotting the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea.
Peloponnese
The rugged mountains and historic coastlines of southern mainland Greece.
The Cyclades
Iconic Greek islands like Santorini and Naxos visible against the deep blue Aegean.
Cyprus Coastline
A dramatic descent over the Limassol coastline and the salt lakes near Larnaca.
Sit on the right for the best sunset views on evening departures. This side consistently delivers the most iconic geographic features, including the Alps and the Adriatic. During the descent into Larnaca, watch for the vivid turquoise waters of the Mediterranean as the plane turns for its final approach.
Bavarian Landscapes
Green rolling hills and the sprawling city of Munich visible in the distance.
Austrian Alps
The sharp, snow-capped peaks of the Hohe Tauern mountain range.
Danube River
The winding blue artery of Central Europe as it snakes through the Balkans.
Balkan Mountains
The rugged, forested terrain of Bulgaria and North Macedonia.
Island of Rhodes
A clear view of the large Greek island just before the final stretch over the Mediterranean.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides excellent views of the Austrian high-alpine peaks about 90 minutes into the flight. On the final approach into Larnaca, you may catch a glimpse of the Famagusta coastline to the north.
