Search flights from BRI to AMS
Gargano Peninsula
The 'spur' of Italy's boot protruding into the turquoise Adriatic Sea shortly after takeoff.
Venice and the Lagoon
An iconic view of the historic island city and its intricate salt marshes from high altitude.
The Dolomites
The dramatic, vertical limestone walls of these UNESCO-listed mountains are a major highlight.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' marking the borders of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Frankfurt Skyline
Views of Germany's financial hub and one of Europe's busiest airport hubs from above.
IJsselmeer
The large inland bay of the Netherlands, often visible during the final descent into Schiphol.
The right side is generally superior for landmark spotting. Look out for Venice approximately 30-40 minutes after takeoff. For morning flights, this side will have direct sunlight, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended. On the descent into Amsterdam, the right side often gets a great view of the Dutch polders and coast.

Central Apennines
Bird's eye view of the rugged mountain spine of central Italy shortly after departure.
Lake Garda
Italy's largest lake is often visible to the west as the plane crosses the Po Valley.
Swiss Alps Peaks
Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks and glaciers in the Jungfrau and Bernese Oberland regions.
Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine river cuts through the German landscape with visible riverside towns.
Low Countries
Dense urban grids and canal networks of eastern Belgium and the southern Netherlands.
Sit on the left if you want to see the sunset over the European continent during evening flights. It also provides a better angle of the Swiss glaciers if the flight path tracks slightly east. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for the best Alpine views.
