AMS â SFB
Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Orlando Sanford International Airport (Sanford)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is superior for this route because it offers iconic views of the Greenland ice cap and the rugged wilderness of Northern Canada while avoiding direct sun glare.
Search flights from AMS to SFB
Scottish Highlands
The dramatic, green mountain ranges and deep lochs of Northern Scotland shortly after departure.
Greenland Ice Sheet
Stunning, high-altitude views of massive glaciers and the vast white expanse of the southern ice cap.
Labrador Wilderness
The remote, lake-dotted tundra of Northern Canada, which looks like a mosaic of water and rock from above.
St. Lawrence River
The transition from the Atlantic Ocean into the massive waterway separating Canada and the US.
Appalachian Mountains
The ancient, rolling green ridges of the eastern United States as the flight moves toward the Southeast.
This is the best side for photography as the sun is positioned on the opposite side of the plane. The view of Greenland occurs roughly 4 to 5 hours into the flight. In spring and early summer, look closely at the Labrador coast to spot white flecks in the water which are often icebergs.

English Channel
Aerial views of the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs along the southern coast of the United Kingdom.
Newfoundland Coast
The first sight of North America, featuring the rocky, indented shoreline of eastern Canada.
US East Coast
Distant views of the Atlantic seaboard's major metropolitan areas as the flight turns south toward Florida.
Kennedy Space Center
Visible during the descent into Sanford, you can often spot the massive launch pads at Cape Canaveral.
Florida Everglades
The unique network of wetlands and swamps characteristic of the Central Florida landscape.
The left side faces south during the westbound crossing, meaning you will have direct sunlight for the majority of the flight. Keep your window shade down during the mid-flight to avoid heat and glare, but open it about 30 minutes before landing to see the Space Coast.
