Cyclades & Aegean Sea
Exquisite views of the Greek islands scattered across the deep blue sea shortly after departure.
Dalmatian Coastline
The spectacular contrast of Croatia's thousand islands against the turquoise Adriatic waters.
Central European Alps
A close-up view of jagged, snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys as you cross into Central Europe.
Lake Constance
The enormous 'Bodensee' which forms a natural border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Dutch Polder Landscape
The iconic geometric patchwork of reclaimed land and canals as you descend into the Netherlands.
For evening flights, the left side is the 'sunset side,' offering golden hour views over the Adriatic and the Alps. To capture the best photos of the mountains, choose a seat well forward of the wing to avoid engine exhaust distortion. During the final approach to Schiphol, this side often sees the industrial harbor areas of Rotterdam or the North Sea coast.

Turkish Riviera
Views of the rugged Bodrum peninsula and the deep bays of the Turkish coast immediately after takeoff.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the gods in Northern Greece, often visible rising above the clouds.
Balkan Highlands
Rugged, forested mountain ranges and remote valleys throughout Montenegro and Bosnia.
Bavarian Plains
The rolling green landscapes and scattered cities of Southern Germany, including the Munich vicinity.
IJsselmeer
The Netherlands' massive inland sea and the impressive dikes visible during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. It offers a unique perspective of the Turkish coastline during departure. If the flight lands on the Polderbaan (runway 18R/36L), the right side may catch a distant glimpse of the Amsterdam city center and the IJ waterfront during the final bank.
