Search flights from EBL to AMS
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic rugged peaks and deep valleys of Southern Turkey shortly after takeoff.
Aegean Glimpses
Distal views of the Turkish coastline and the sparkling waters of the Aegean Sea.
Austrian Alps
Stunning snow-capped summits and glacial valleys as the flight crosses Central Europe.
Bavarian Plateau
A patchwork of deep green forests and traditional villages across Southern Germany.
Upper Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine River flanked by historic vineyards and occasional castle ruins.
On morning flights, the left side is shaded from direct glare, making it perfect for photography. Keep a keen eye out approximately 3.5 hours into the flight for the most dramatic Alpine peaks. For the arrival into Schiphol, this side often provides a great view of the Dutch coastline if the wind dictates a northern approach.

Black Sea Coast
Expansive views of the dark blue waters along the northern Turkish and Bulgarian coastlines.
Carpathian Mountains
The wild, forested ridges of the Romanian Carpathians stretching toward the horizon.
Danube River
The 'Blue Danube' snaking through the Great Hungarian Plain near Budapest.
Ruhr Industrial Area
The sprawling urban and industrial heartland of Western Germany during the descent.
Dutch Polders
The iconic reclaimed land, canals, and organized geometric fields of the Netherlands.
The right side is excellent for capturing the transition from the Anatolian plateau to the Black Sea. During the final 20 minutes of flight, watch for the distinct geometric patterns of the Dutch polders and, depending on the runway in use (like the Polderbaan), views of the North Sea canal.
