Port of Rotterdam
The massive scale of Europe's largest seaport and its intricate container terminals.
Zeeland Delta Works
Impressive Dutch engineering and flood barriers spanning the estuaries of the Scheldt.
Thames Estuary
The winding mouth of the River Thames filled with industrial activity and cargo ships.
Central London
Dramatic views of The Shard, the City of London financial district, and the Tower of London.
Westminster Landmarks
The London Eye, Big Ben, and the Houses of Parliament visible on a clear day during descent.
Choose a seat in front of or well behind the wing for unobstructed views of the London skyline. Afternoon flights are ideal for the sun to illuminate the city buildings. If landing towards the west (Runway 27), the left side is the premium choice for sightseeing.

IJsselmeer
The vast reclaimed inland sea and the polders of the Netherlands.
Amsterdam
The distinct semi-circular canal rings of the Dutch capital are often visible from high altitude.
North Sea Wind Farms
Extensive arrays of offshore wind turbines dotting the sea between the Netherlands and the UK.
Olympic Park
The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the stadium in Stratford as you enter the London area.
Windsor Castle
The world's oldest occupied castle is clearly visible if the flight approaches from the west or overshoots the airport.
The right side is excellent for seeing the Dutch coast and North Sea wind farms. It is also the best side for spotting Windsor Castle if the plane lands from the west on Runway 09. Morning flights avoid the direct glare of the sun on this side of the cabin.
