BRE â AMS
Which side of the plane to sit from Bremen Airport (Bremen) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the North Sea coastline, the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea, and the Frisian Islands during the short hop to Amsterdam.
Search flights from BRE to AMS
The Wadden Sea
A unique tidal ecosystem with shifting sandbanks and intricate water channels visible at low tide.
East Frisian Islands
Aerial perspectives of the German islands including Borkum and Norderney early in the flight.
Groningen City
The vibrant northern Dutch capital with its distinct Martinitoren visible from the air.
Lauwersmeer
A vast national park consisting of lakes and marshes where the land meets the North Sea.
The IJsselmeer
Crossing the enormous enclosed bay of the Netherlands, often filled with sailing vessels.
Afsluitdijk
The massive 32km dam that separates the IJsselmeer from the Wadden Sea, a marvel of Dutch engineering.
The right side is the undisputed winner for coastal scenery. Aim for a morning flight for the best light on the islands. Since the flight is very short and stays at a relatively low altitude (approx. 20,000 ft), the details of the tidal flats and the Afsluitdijk are exceptionally clear.

Wildeshausen Geest
Lush forested landscapes and rolling plains of Lower Saxony immediately after departure from Bremen.
German-Dutch Borderlands
A patchwork of traditional agricultural polders and drainage canals near the Emsland region.
The Veluwe
The largest forested ridge in the Netherlands, providing a dark green contrast to the surrounding lowlands.
Utrecht and Randstad
Dense urban clusters and the historic city center of Utrecht visible during the final descent phase.
Flevoland Polders
Land reclaimed from the sea featuring perfectly geometric agricultural plots and modern wind farms.
Sit on the left for better views of the Dutch 'Green Heart' and the urban density of the Randstad. On clear days, you can spot the Dom Tower of Utrecht. This side is better during late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun over the North Sea.
