AMS → LPL
Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (Liverpool)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Peak District's rugged terrain and provides the iconic perspective of the Liverpool city skyline and historic docks during the final approach.
The Wash
The vast, shallow bay on the East Coast of England, known for its distinct square shape and salt marshes.
Peak District
The dramatic moorlands, plateaus, and deep valleys of the UK's first National Park as you cross northern England.
Manchester Skyline
A distant but clear view of the growing cluster of skyscrapers in Manchester city center to the north.
Liverpool Waterfront
The 'Three Graces' and the historic Royal Albert Dock visible as the plane banks for its final approach.
Anfield and Goodison Park
The iconic stadiums of Liverpool FC and Everton FC are often visible just north of the city center.
Choose a window seat behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Peak District. During a typical Runway 27 landing, this side provides the most famous 'postcard' views of the Mersey riverfront and the Liver Building.
Dutch Coastline
Clear views of the North Sea beaches and the intricate coastal defenses near Haarlem shortly after takeoff.
North Sea Shipping
Observation of the busy maritime corridors and offshore wind farms between the Netherlands and the UK.
The Fens
The unique, flat, and grid-like agricultural patterns of the Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire countryside.
Silver Jubilee Bridge
The industrial landscape of the Mersey Gateway and the iconic bridges connecting Runcorn and Widnes.
Cheshire Plain
Lush green pastures and historic estates visible during the initial descent into the Liverpool area.
Sit here during morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. As you approach LPL, watch for the Stanlow Refinery's industrial complex which looks particularly striking at dusk when illuminated.
