Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of diverse scenery, including the Tunisian coastline, the dramatic mountain ridges of Corsica, distant views of the snow-capped French Alps, and a spectacular aerial perspective of Amsterdam's canal rings upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Cap Bon Peninsula

The sharp northern tip of Tunisia, where the land juts out dramatically into the deep Mediterranean.

⛰️

Corsican Peaks

Aerial views of the 'Island of Beauty' with its jagged granite mountains reaching up to nearly 9,000 feet.

🏔️

French Alps

On clear days, the distant snow-covered silhouettes of the high Alps are visible to the east.

🍇

Burgundy Region

The meticulously organized patchwork of world-famous vineyards and historic French villages.

🏙️

Amsterdam City Center

Depending on the landing runway (Polderbaan or Zwanenburgbaan), you often get a perfect view of the concentric canal rings.

The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun illuminates the mountains of Corsica and the Alps. For the best chance of seeing Amsterdam's city center, hope for a landing on Runway 18R or 18C, where the right side looks directly over the historical core.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Gulf of Hammamet

Crystal clear turquoise waters and sandy beaches of the Tunisian coast immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Sardinia Coastline

The rugged western cliffs and hidden white-sand coves of the Italian island of Sardinia.

🌋

Massif Central

The ancient, rounded volcanic peaks and deep green valleys of central France.

🗼

Parisian Horizon

Distances views of the Greater Paris area, often catching the glint of the city's landmarks on clear days.

🛶

Zeeland Delta

The incredible engineering of the Delta Works and the fragmented islands of the southern Dutch coast.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides an excellent perspective of the Dutch coastline and the massive port infrastructure of Rotterdam as you descend toward Schiphol.
