LIM → AMS
Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular departure over the Andes and a stunning sunrise over the Atlantic before the final descent into the Netherlands.
Lima Urban Grid
Bird's eye view of the sprawling Lima metropolis and the San Lorenzo island.
The Andes Mountains
Dramatic views of the snow-covered peaks and deep valleys of the Peruvian mountain range.
Upper Amazon
The dense green landscape where the mountains meet the world's largest rainforest.
Atlantic Dawn
The breathtaking sight of the sun rising over the horizon during the eastbound crossing.
North Sea Coast
Views of the busy Dutch shoreline and offshore wind farms before touching down at Schiphol.
Seat yourself here for the dramatic climb over the Peruvian Andes. During the overnight portion, prepare for a brilliant sunrise on the right side as you approach Europe. Landing in AMS often provides views of the North Sea or the Dutch coast from this side.
Pacific Horizon
Vast views of the ocean as the aircraft climbs away from the Peruvian coast.
Caribbean Basin
Occasional sightings of the Caribbean islands depending on the specific flight corridor.
Brittany Peninsula
The rugged coastline of northwestern France as the flight reaches European soil.
Polders and Canals
The iconic reclaimed land and intricate canal systems of the Netherlands during the final approach.
Expect heavy darkness over the Atlantic. The best window for views is the first hour after takeoff and the final hour before landing. Watch for the coastal contours of Western France as you cross from the ocean to the continent.
