Which side of the plane to sit from Minsk National Airport (Minsk 2) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Polish Lake District, the sprawling city of Berlin, and the unique water-managed landscapes of the Netherlands upon approach.
Masurian Lake District
An stunning cluster of over 2,000 lakes in northeastern Poland visible during the first half of the flight.
Berlin Metropolitan Area
A fantastic view of the German capital, including the TV Tower and the winding Spree River if the flight path is northerly.
IJsselmeer
The massive inland bay of the Netherlands, separated from the North Sea by a 32km long dike.
Dutch Polders
The iconic, perfectly geometric reclaimed land and canal systems characteristic of the Dutch landscape.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset over the North Sea during evening flights. During the final 20 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the distinctive patterns of the Dutch polders and wind farms.
Minsk Skyline
A clear view of the Belarusian capital's grand avenues and Soviet-era architecture shortly after takeoff.
Vistula River
The longest river in Poland, winding through the central plains toward Warsaw.
Harz Mountains
The highest mountain range in Northern Germany, often topped with mist or snow in winter.
Ruhr Valley
The densely populated industrial heartland of Germany featuring a complex network of cities and infrastructure.
Sit on this side for better lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind you. Watch for the sprawling urban centers of Western Germany as you descend toward the Dutch border.
