AMS β LIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Milano Linate Airport (Milan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular journey over the heart of the Swiss Alps, featuring the Bernese Oberland and a stunning descent past the Italian lakes toward the Milanese skyline.
Vosges Mountains
The dense green forests and rounded peaks of Eastern France provide a scenic transition toward the high mountains.
Bernese Oberland
Incredible views of the world-famous Eiger, MΓΆnch, and Jungfrau peaks, often capped with snow year-round.
Lake Maggiore
A stunning view of this long, deep lake and the Borromean Islands as the plane crosses into Italian airspace.
Milan Skyline
On the standard approach to Linate, catch the skyscrapers of Porta Nuova and the historic Duomo di Milano.
San Siro Stadium
The massive, architecturally distinct home of AC Milan and Inter Milan is often visible during the final minutes of flight.
The right side is the 'money side' for Alpine enthusiasts. Choose this side for the best views of the high peaks and the Italian lakes during descent. For evening flights, you may catch a beautiful sunset over the French/Swiss border.
Rhine Valley
Aerial views of the meandering Rhine River as it winds through the industrial and historic heart of Germany.
Lake Constance
A massive freshwater lake where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet, often appearing bright blue from above.
Glarus Alps
Dramatic eastern Swiss peaks and deep glacial valleys that mark the beginning of the high Alpine crossing.
Lombardy Vineyards
The lush, structured patterns of northern Italian agriculture as the plane descends into the Po Valley.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. This side is better for spotting the expansive waters of the Bodensee and the quieter, more rugged peaks of the Eastern Swiss Alps.
