Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Linköping City Airport (Linkoeping)?

Our Recommendation

7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Dutch Wadden Islands shortly after takeoff and a more scenic approach into Linköping, often passing directly over the city center and its historic cathedral.

North Sea Coast

Aerial views of the Dutch coastline and the industrial North Sea Canal near IJmuiden.

Wadden Islands

Look down at the unique tidal flats and the chain of islands including Texel and Vlieland.

Jutland Peninsula

Clear views of the western coastline of Denmark and its vast offshore wind farms.

Gothenburg Archipelago

As you enter Swedish airspace, observe the rocky islands of the West Coast.

Lake Vättern

The flight path typically follows the western shore of Sweden's second-largest lake.

Linköping Cathedral

A stunning view of the 107-meter tall spire as the plane descends over the city.

For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Dutch islands. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the city flyover.
