AMS → NWI
Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Norwich International Airport (Norwich)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the intricate Norfolk Broads waterways and the historic Norwich skyline during the final descent, alongside the unique Dutch polder landscape upon departure.
Schiphol Polders
Observe the geometric drainage canals and reclaimed land systems surrounding the airport runways.
Zandvoort Dunes
The sharp transition from the Dutch mainland to the North Sea near the coastal dunes and racing circuit.
Offshore Turbines
Aerial perspective of massive wind energy arrays stationed in the middle of the North Sea.
Norfolk Broads
Spectacular views of the winding rivers, lakes, and marshes of the iconic UK national park.
Norwich Cathedral
A clear view of the historic spire and the city center during the final approach into NWI.
Opt for the left side for the best views of the Norfolk Broads' wetlands. This side is particularly scenic during late afternoon flights when the sun reflects off the North Sea. Keep an eye out for the distinct geometric patterns of the Dutch polders immediately after takeoff from Schiphol.
Haarlem Suburbs
Views of the historic city of Haarlem and the northern Dutch residential districts.
North Sea Shipping
Spot massive container ships and tankers navigating one of the world's busiest maritime channels.
Great Yarmouth
View the East Anglian coastline and the prominent Big Wheel at the Pleasure Beach.
Norfolk Farmland
The characteristic patchwork of bright agricultural fields typical of the East Anglian countryside.
Carrow Road
A brief glimpse of the Norwich City football stadium located near the train station and river.
The right side is excellent for tracking the coastline as you cross from the sea to the UK. Depending on the wind direction and runway in use, you may get a wide-angle view of the Norfolk coast. Watch for the dense clusters of cargo ships in the North Sea shipping lanes about halfway through the flight.
