Amsterdam City View
Depending on the runway in use (specifically 18L or 24), you may see the concentric canal rings and Central Station.
The right side is excellent for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. If the aircraft lands on the Polderbaan (18R), the right side provides a great view of the airport's massive infrastructure during the long taxi. Look for the industrial architecture of the Ruhr area in the distance to the east.
