The Ardennes
Dense forest cover and deep river valleys of northern Luxembourg and southern Belgium shortly after takeoff.
Meuse Valley
The scenic river curves near Namur, featuring historic citadels perched on limestone cliffs.
Delta Works
The world-famous Dutch flood protection systems and dams visible as you approach the Zeeland coastline.
Port of Rotterdam
A sprawling view of one of the world's largest shipping hubs, including the Maasvlakte reclamation area.
Dutch Polders
The iconic patchwork of reclaimed land, canals, and agricultural grids during the final descent into Schiphol.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the North Sea coastline. If the plane lands on the Polderbaan (Runway 18R), you will get a front-row seat to the geometric beauty of the Haarlemmermeer polder. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the coastal engineering structures.

Loosdrechtse Plassen
