Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic North Sea coastline, the engineering marvels of the Dutch Delta Works, and the iconic chalk cliffs of Normandy.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Delta Works

Incredible views of the Oosterscheldekering and other massive storm surge barriers protecting the Netherlands.

πŸ–οΈ

Belgian Coastline

Clear views of the sandy beaches and seaside resorts of Knokke-Heist and Ostend.

βšͺ

Alabaster Coast

The dramatic white chalk cliffs of Normandy, stretching from Dieppe toward Γ‰tretat.

β›ͺ

Mont Saint-Michel

On clear days with a westerly flight path, the distant silhouette of the tidal abbey can be spotted on the horizon.

βš“

Loire Estuary

The wide mouth of the Loire river meeting the Atlantic, including views of the Saint-Nazaire bridge.

The right side is the scenic winner for this route. Sit here for sunset flights to witness the sun dipping into the Atlantic Ocean. Keep your eyes peeled about 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the Delta Works. In winter months, the low sun angle highlights the textures of the Normandy cliffs beautifully. A window seat is essential as the coastline transitions are rapid.

πŸ™οΈ

Amsterdam Cityscape

Aerial view of the historic canal rings and urban sprawl of the Dutch capital immediately after takeoff.

🚜

Dutch Polders

Vast, geometric patterns of reclaimed land and agricultural fields distinctive to the South Holland region.

🏰

Picardy Plains

The rolling hills and historic farmland of northern France, dotted with small villages and gothic steeples.

πŸ‡

Loire Vineyards

Lush green corridors and vineyard patches as the flight descends into the Pays de la Loire region.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is ideal for seeing the intricate layout of Amsterdam's southern suburbs and the inland rivers of France. During the final approach into Nantes, you may see the historic city center and the Erdre river winding through the landscape.
