One of the world's largest ports is frequently visible shortly after departure from Schiphol.

🏔️

High Alpine Massifs

Stunning views of the highest parts of the Alpine chain, including glaciers and deep valleys.

🏝️

Dalmatian Coast

The striking contrast of white limestone islands against the deep blue Adriatic Sea along the Croatian border.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

The rugged karst landscape of Montenegro and Albania, featuring sharp ridges and deep canyons.

⚡

Mount Olympus

🇳🇱

Amsterdam Polders

View the iconic geometric patterns of the Dutch reclaimed lands immediately after takeoff.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

The dense urban center and major European financial hub are often visible during the mid-flight transit over Germany.

🏔️

Austrian Alps

Jagged, snow-covered peaks of the Eastern Alps provide a dramatic landscape for about 20 minutes of the flight.

🌊

Vardar River Valley

The long, winding valley that leads from North Macedonia directly into the plains of Thessaloniki.

🏘️

Thessaloniki Cityscape

Clear views of the city center and the White Tower if the plane approaches from the north.

Choose this side for morning flights to enjoy soft lighting without direct sun glare. It is the better side for seeing the urban sprawl of Central Europe and the inner Balkan mountain ranges.
