Which side of the plane to sit from Boryspil International Airport (Kiev) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of major capital cities like Warsaw and Berlin, plus the iconic Dutch water landscapes upon descent.
Kiev City Center
A starboard seat offers a panoramic view of the golden domes and urban sprawl of Kiev shortly after takeoff.
Warsaw
Look out for the Vistula river and the distinct skyscrapers of the Polish capital mid-flight.
Berlin Skyline
The route often passes just south of Berlin, offering a view of the TV Tower and urban sprawl.
Markermeer
As the plane descends, enjoy the stunning blue expanses of the large lake north of Amsterdam.
Dutch Coastline
Catch glimpses of the North Sea and the intricate network of dykes and canals.
The right side avoids direct sun glare, making it ideal for photography. Look out for the Markerwatten islands during the descent for unique coastal patterns.
Dnieper River
Immediately after takeoff, witness the winding Dnieper river cutting through the landscape south of Kiev.
Galician Plains
Enjoy the vast agricultural mosaic of Western Ukraine and Eastern Poland.
Harz Mountains
On clear days, see the northernmost range of Germany's central uplands in the distance.
Rhine River Valley
View the industrial and scenic heart of Germany as you cross the Rhine near the Dutch border.
Utrecht
A clear view of the historic Dutch city and its unique canal systems during the final descent.
Expect direct sunlight for much of the journey; keep window shades partially closed to avoid glare. Best for seeing the Rhine transition into the Dutch polders.
