Which side of the plane to sit from Billund Airport (Billund) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular coastal views, including the unique tidal patterns of the Wadden Sea and the picturesque chain of Frisian Islands.
The Wadden Sea
A UNESCO World Heritage site featuring mesmerizing tidal flats, sandbanks, and shallow channels.
West Frisian Islands
Aerial views of Texel, Vlieland, and Terschelling islands lined up along the Dutch coast.
The Afsluitdijk
The massive 32-kilometer dam that separates the IJsselmeer from the North Sea.
Offshore Wind Farms
Vast arrays of white turbines standing in the North Sea, showcasing Dutch green energy.
North Holland Dunes
The long, sandy coastline and protective dunes leading down towards the approach to Amsterdam.
The right side is the clear winner for scenery. Sit forward of the wing to get the best views of the Frisian Islands. In the morning, the light illuminates the sandbanks beautifully. Keep an eye out for the Afsluitdijk as it is a remarkable feat of engineering visible from high altitude.
Billund Town & LEGO House
Catch a glimpse of the colorful LEGO House and Legoland Resort immediately after departure.
Jutland Farmland
Neat, geometric patterns of Danish agriculture stretching across the southern peninsula.
German Bight Coastline
The transition from the mainland to the marshes of Lower Saxony in Northern Germany.
Dutch Polder Grids
Intricate drainage systems and perfectly straight canals of the reclaimed land in the eastern Netherlands.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides a great view of the Billund area and the structured interior landscapes of the Netherlands as you descend towards Schiphol.
