Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Valencia Airport (Valencia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the High Pyrenees peaks and the dramatic approach into the Spanish hinterland, while avoiding the harsh glare of the morning sun common on southbound European routes.

Dutch Coastline
Views of the sandy beaches of Zeeland and the complex Delta Works engineering project.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and the fertile 'Garden of France' known for its historic chateaus.
High Pyrenees
Spectacular snow-capped peaks of the central Pyrenees, including Aneto, while crossing the border into Spain.
Ebro River Basin
The vast, arid landscapes of the Aragon region carved by the deep blue Ebro River.
Iberian System
The rugged mountains of Teruel and the Maestrazgo region during the final descent phase.
This is the prime side for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Pyrenees. Watch for the dramatic change from lush French greenery to the arid, reddish landscapes of central Spain.
