Which side of the plane to sit from Fukuoka Airport (Fukuoka) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic perspective of the Arctic wilderness, specifically the rugged mountains of East Greenland and the spectacular fjord-riddled coastline of Norway.

Hokkaido Wilderness
Distant views of the volcanic peaks and dense forests of Japan's northernmost main island.
Scoresby Sund
The world's largest fjord system in East Greenland, featuring jagged peaks and crystalline ice.
Norwegian Fjords
Breathtaking aerial perspectives of the deep, narrow inlets and steep cliffs along the Norway coast.
Scandinavian Mountains
The snow-capped 'backbone' of the Scandinavian Peninsula stretching across the horizon.
North Sea Coastline
The industrial and natural beauty of the German and Dutch coastlines meeting the North Sea.
The right side is the star of this route, especially during the middle and late segments. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Norwegian fjords. In summer, the midnight sun will illuminate these northern features even at odd hours. Note that many flights now avoid Russian airspace, making the 'Polar Route' or 'Southern Route' more common; if flying polar, the views of the Arctic are unmatched.

Sea of Japan
Expansive views of the deep blue waters shortly after departing from Fukuoka's northern coast.
Arctic Ice Sheet
Endless horizons of the polar ice cap as the flight traverses the high northern latitudes.
South Greenland Coast
Observation of massive glaciers and icebergs floating near the southern tip of the world's largest island.
The Wadden Sea
Unique coastal wetlands and tidal flats visible as the plane approaches the Dutch coast.
Dutch Polders
The geometric beauty of reclaimed land and agricultural fields during the final descent into Schiphol.
The left side is the preferred choice for spotting the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) if you are flying during the winter months, as it faces the darker southern sky away from the polar sun. Keep your window shade open during the descent into Amsterdam for a view of the intricate canal systems and modern wind farms in the North Sea.
