Search flights from MRS to AMS
The French Alps
On clear days, the majestic snow-capped peaks, including Mont Blanc, are visible on the eastern horizon.
Rhône Valley
Follow the silver thread of the Rhône River through famous wine regions like Hermitage and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Lyon Confluence
A perfect aerial perspective of the Rhône and Saône rivers meeting in the heart of France's third-largest city.
The Ardennes
The plane crosses over the rolling, heavily forested hills of Belgium and Luxembourg.
Dutch Polders
The iconic geometric layout of reclaimed land and canals becomes visible as the plane enters Dutch airspace.
Sit on the right for the best mountain photography. Afternoon flights provide the best light on the Alps to the east. Watch for the 'confluence' in Lyon approximately 25 minutes into the flight, which is a major landmark for this route.

Marseille Coastline
Dramatic views of the Étang de Berre and the Mediterranean blue as the plane climbs out of Provence.
Massif Central
The rugged western horizon features the ancient volcanic plateaus of central France.
Loire Valley
A patchwork of lush green fields and historic estates as you transition into Northern France.
Port of Rotterdam
During the descent, witness the massive scale of Europe's largest seaport and its intricate shipping lanes.
Dutch Urban Centers
Clear views of The Hague and the historic city of Delft just before reaching the Schiphol perimeter.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct sun. This side is superior for seeing the industrial heart of the Netherlands and the North Sea coastline during the standard approach to Schiphol's Polderbaan or Zwanenburgbaan runways.
