IJsselmeer
The vast closed-off bay of the Netherlands, featuring the Afsluitdijk and reclaimed polder lands.
Amsterdam Cityscape
On a clear day, the concentric canal rings and the bustling Schiphol Airport are often visible during the transit.
North Sea Wind Farms
View massive offshore wind turbine arrays like Gemini or Princess Amalia rising from the blue waters.
East Anglian Coast
The crumbling cliffs of Suffolk and the historic towns of Southwold or Aldeburgh appear as you reach the UK.
Cambridge Spires
During the final approach into Stansted, look for the historic university colleges and the green expanse of the Fens.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Dutch coast and Amsterdam. Look out for the distinct geometric patterns of the Dutch polders shortly after leaving German airspace.
