Search flights from EXT to AMS
Jurassic Coast
The dramatic cliffs of East Devon and Dorset, including Lyme Regis and Chesil Beach.
Isle of Wight
A perfect aerial view of the Needles and the Solent waterway.
Portsmouth Harbour
Look for the Spinnaker Tower and the historic naval dockyards.
Beachy Head
The famous chalk headland and the Seven Sisters white cliffs.
Delta Works
The incredible Dutch sea barriers and dams across the Zeeland province.
Port of Rotterdam
Europoort, one of the world's largest and most active industrial shipping hubs.
The right side is the definitive choice for coastal landmarks. To see the Jurassic Coast, look out immediately after takeoff. As you approach the Netherlands, the Delta Works are best seen from a window seat to appreciate the scale of the water management systems. Avoid the wing area for the best view of the English Channel crossing.
