Search flights from BGO to AMS
Hardangerfjord Region
Shortly after takeoff, view the rugged mountains and deep glacial valleys of the Norwegian coastline.
Stavanger Coast
A distant view of the Rogaland islands and the busy maritime traffic heading into the North Sea.
Wadden Sea
As you reach the Netherlands, observe the unique tidal flats and the Frisian Islands chain.
IJsselmeer
The massive inland bay and reclaimed polders visible as the flight transitions from sea to land.
Amsterdam City
Depending on the runway approach, a spectacular view of the historic city center and its concentric canals.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the fjords. On the descent, watch for the 'Afsluitdijk'—the massive causeway separating the North Sea from the IJsselmeer. If the pilot announces a landing on the Aalsmeerbaan or Zwanenburgbaan, this side is prime for city spotting.

Sotra Archipelago
The rocky islands and coastal communities just outside of Bergen's Flesland airport.
Offshore Wind Farms
Spot massive renewable energy clusters like the Gemini Wind Park rising from the North Sea.
Dutch Coastline
The long, sandy beaches of Zandvoort and the coastal dunes appearing as you approach Schiphol.
Polder Landscapes
The intricate geometric patterns of reclaimed farmland and drainage canals surrounding the airport.
Keukenhof Region
During spring months, look for the vibrant rectangular patches of commercial tulip fields south of the airport.
The right side is excellent for sunset flights, providing a view of the sun dipping into the North Sea. During April and May, this is the better side to spot the famous Dutch flower fields if the approach path takes you over Lisse. Be aware that the North Sea crossing can be mostly clouds, making the arrival phase the most interesting part.
