Which side of the plane to sit from Linköping City Airport (Linkoeping) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the West Frisian Islands and the North Sea coastline during the descent into Amsterdam, providing a clear view of the unique Dutch geography.
Lake Vättern
Sweden's second-largest lake is often visible to the west shortly after departure, characterized by its deep blue, clear water.
The Øresund Bridge
On clear days, the iconic bridge connecting Copenhagen and Malmö can be spotted in the distance across the strait.
West Frisian Islands
A spectacular view of the sandy arcs of Texel, Vlieland, and Terschelling separated by the shallow Wadden Sea.
The Afsluitdijk
The massive 32km dam that separates the North Sea from the IJsselmeer is a landmark engineering marvel visible during descent.
Choose the right side for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Frisian Islands perfectly. Keep a close eye out for the North Sea wind farms and busy shipping lanes near the Dutch coast. For the best view of the islands, look out approximately 20 minutes before landing.
Småland Forests
Dense Swedish pine forests dotted with hundreds of small glacial lakes visible shortly after takeoff from Linköping.
Lolland and Falster
Clear views of the southern Danish islands and the intricate bridge networks connecting the Baltic archipelagos.
German Heartland
The agricultural landscapes of Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony as the flight crosses into German airspace.
Almere & Amsterdam Skyline
On final approach, views of the modern polder city of Almere and the historic sprawl of Amsterdam's southern districts.
Sit here for better views of the inland Baltic islands. In the evening, this side experiences less direct solar glare as you travel southwest. Look for the massive wind farms located in the German Bight near the coast.
