North Holland Polders
View the distinct geometric patterns of the reclaimed Dutch polders and agricultural lands shortly after takeoff.
Wadden Islands
Look for Texel and the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea, characterized by unique sandbars and tidal flats.
Offshore Wind Farms
Large-scale renewable energy projects visible as vast arrays of turbines in the middle of the North Sea.
Lysefjord & Preikestolen
On many approach paths, you can spot the mouth of the Lysefjord and the surrounding mountainous terrain.
Stavanger & Hafrsfjord
Excellent views of the city of Stavanger, its harbor, and the historical Hafrsfjord area during descent.
The Right Side is essential for landscape lovers. For the best views of the Wadden Islands, ensure you are flying during daylight. When approaching Stavanger, the landscape changes rapidly from open sea to dramatic rocky terrain; have your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing. If the flight path takes you over Lysefjord, the view of the mountains is world-class.

North Sea Coastline
Stunning views of the Dutch beaches near IJmuiden and Zandvoort immediately after takeoff from Schiphol.
Shipping Lanes
Observe the busy maritime traffic entering and leaving the Port of Rotterdam and the North Sea Canal.
North Sea Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the horizon, perfect for capturing sunsets during late afternoon flights.
Outer Skerries
As the plane descends into Stavanger, look for the small, rocky islands scattered in the North Sea.
Sit on the left if you enjoy watching the sun set over the open sea on evening flights. During the final approach, keep an eye out for the rugged coastline, though it is less dramatic than the right side.
