Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Turin Airport (Torino)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side (seats F) offers a spectacular perspective of the high Alps, specifically the Mont Blanc massif, as the aircraft descends into the Piedmont region.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

North Sea Coast

Depending on the runway, views of the Dutch coastline and sand dunes near Zandvoort.

🌲

Vosges Mountains

The dense forests and rounded 'ballons' of the Vosges range in eastern France.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in Europe often dominates the horizon on the right during the Alpine crossing.

🏞️

Gran Paradiso

Stunning views of the glaciers and rugged terrain of Italy's oldest National Park.

⛪

Superga Basilica

The iconic church perched on the hills overlooking the city during the landing pattern.

The Right Side is essential for capturing Mont Blanc. For the best photography, a window seat behind the wing is recommended to avoid engine heat haze. Winter flights provide the most dramatic contrast between the snow-covered peaks and the green Piedmont plains.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🇳🇱

Dutch Polders

Intricate canal systems and green agricultural grids south of Amsterdam during initial climb.

🇱🇺

Luxembourg City

A view of the historic city and the deep Alzette river valley from cruising altitude.

🏔️

Pennine Alps

Distant but majestic views of the Monte Rosa massif and the Matterhorn to the East.

🏙️

Turin Cityscape

A sweeping view of the Po River and the Mole Antonelliana during the final approach.

Choose the Left Side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the snow-capped Pennine Alps as you transition from France into Italy.
