EIN → RTM
Which side of the plane to sit from Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven) to Rotterdam The Hague Airport (Rotterdam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic Kinderdijk windmills and a sweeping view of the Rotterdam skyline during the final approach into RTM.
Tilburg Urban Area
View of the growing skyline of Tilburg and the surrounding industrial parks of central Brabant.
Loonse en Drunense Duinen
The 'Brabant Sahara,' featuring vast shifting sand dunes and coniferous forests.
Kinderdijk Windmills
The famous UNESCO World Heritage site featuring 19 historic windmills lining the polder canals.
Rotterdam Skyline
Clear views of the Euromast, Erasmus Bridge, and the high-rise architecture of 'Manhattan on the Maas'.
The right side is ideal for photographers; the approach often passes just north of Kinderdijk, providing a rare aerial perspective of the windmills. As the flight is very short (under 20 minutes in the air), stay alert from the moment the landing gear descends, as the city view appears quickly.
Breda City Center
Aerial view of the historic city of Breda, featuring the Grote Kerk and the lush Valkenberg Park.
De Biesbosch
One of the largest national parks in the Netherlands, characterized by a complex network of rivers and willow forests.
Dordrecht Waterways
The oldest city in Holland, situated at the junction of three major rivers with views of the historic harbor.
Port of Rotterdam
Distant views of the massive industrial cranes and shipping infrastructure of Europe's largest seaport.
Sit on the left if you enjoy seeing the intricate delta geography where the Meuse and Rhine rivers converge. This side is particularly scenic during sunset when the water channels reflect the golden light. Keep an eye out for the Moerdijk bridges connecting North Brabant to South Holland.
