Ibiza & Formentera
Aerial views of the iconic salt flats (Ses Salines) and the turquoise waters of Formentera immediately after takeoff.
The Pyrenees
A spectacular crossing of the high mountain border between Spain and France, featuring rugged, snow-capped peaks.
Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France' with its winding rivers and historical châteaux visible as you transit central France.
Greater Paris
On many flight paths, the Eiffel Tower and the urban sprawl of Paris are visible in the distance to the east.
North Sea Coast
Dramatic views of the Zeeland delta and the Dutch coastline during the initial descent phases.
Choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. If the aircraft lands on the Polderbaan (36L), you will have an excellent view of the North Sea and the Dutch dunes just before touchdown. Keep your camera ready 25 minutes after takeoff for the Pyrenees crossing.

Costa Brava
The rugged, rocky coastline of Catalonia is often visible as the plane leaves the Mediterranean for mainland Europe.
The Alps
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Western Alps can be seen far to the east while over France.
Rhone River
The silver ribbon of the Rhone River carving through the French landscape near Lyon.
Port of Rotterdam
As you enter Dutch airspace, look for one of the world's largest shipping ports and the complex canal systems.
Dutch Polders
The unique, geometric patterns of reclaimed land and the IJsselmeer lake during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the French landscape and the distant Alps beautifully. During the approach to Schiphol, this side often provides a great view of the airport terminal and aircraft traffic if landing on the Zwanenburgbaan or Buitenveldertbaan.
