Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more dramatic geographic sequence, including views of the distant Himalayas, the rugged Hindu Kush, and the northern expanse of the Caspian Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Himalayan Horizon

On clear days, the world's highest peaks are visible as a jagged white line to the far north.

⛰️

Hindu Kush

Spectacular, high-altitude desert mountain terrain over Afghanistan and Tajikistan.

💧

Caspian Sea

The vast, emerald-tinted waters of the world's largest inland sea.

🌾

Volga River Delta

The intricate, branching patterns of the Volga emptying into the Caspian in Russia.

🌷

Dutch Polders

The iconic geometric patchwork of reclaimed land and canals during the final approach to AMS.

For the best mountain views, keep your window shade open during the middle 5 hours of the flight. The Hindu Kush mountains are a major highlight. When landing at Schiphol, the right side often provides a superior view of the IJsselmeer and the North Sea coast if landing on the Polderbaan runway.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🌊

Bay of Bengal

Deep blue oceanic views after clearing the Andaman Sea.

🏙️

Indian West Coast

Aerial view of the bustling Mumbai metropolis and the Arabian Sea coastline.

🏖️

Black Sea Coast

The transition from the Turkish coastline into the maritime border of Eastern Europe.

🏔️

The Alps

Distant views of the snowy European peaks if the flight path tracks through Central Europe.

🌆

European City Lights

Nighttime views of illuminated hubs like Budapest or Frankfurt depending on the path.

The left side is excellent for catching the sunset when flying westward. It provides a better angle for viewing the southern coastline of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean-adjacent landscapes of the Balkans.
