LJU → AMS
Which side of the plane to sit from Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (Ljubljana) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Julian Alps immediately after takeoff and a stunning perspective of the Rhine River valley and Dutch coastline during the descent.
Julian Alps & Triglav
Shortly after departure from LJU, witness the dramatic limestone peaks of Slovenia, including Mount Triglav.
Lake Constance
On a clear day, look out for the shimmering waters of the Bodensee where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Upper Middle Rhine Valley
View the UNESCO-listed gorge featuring steep vineyards and numerous medieval castles between Bingen and Koblenz.
North Sea Coast
As the plane turns for the final approach into Schiphol, the Dutch coastline and North Sea horizon become visible.
Port of Rotterdam
Visible during many approach patterns, one of the world's largest ports displays an intricate network of ships and docks.
Book an 'A' seat for the best alpine vistas. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Slovenian mountains. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the patchwork of Dutch polders and the intricate canal systems near the coast.
Kamnik-Savinja Alps
Visible on the right side immediately after takeoff, these peaks provide a rugged welcome to the flight path.
Bavarian Heartland
Views of the rolling hills and traditional villages of southern Germany, often passing near Munich.
Frankfurt Skyline
In the distance, the high-rise buildings of Germany's financial hub can often be spotted through the clouds.
IJsselmeer
The massive closed-off inland sea of the Netherlands is a prominent feature during the descent into Amsterdam.
Amsterdam City View
If the plane lands on the Zwanenburgbaan or Polderbaan, you may see the concentric canal rings of the city center.
Opt for an 'F' seat if you prefer watching the landscape transition from the Alps into the industrial heart of Germany. For winter flights, this side catches more direct sunlight, making it warmer. Watch for the distinctive windmills and greenhouses as you enter Dutch airspace.
