Search flights from SPC to AMS
Mount Teide
An incredible view of Spain's highest peak on Tenerife shortly after takeoff from La Palma.
Picos de Europa
The striking limestone peaks of Northern Spain visible during the transition over the mainland.
Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France' featuring a mosaic of vineyards and winding rivers through central France.
Amsterdam Canals
A classic aerial view of the historic canal ring and the city center on the final approach into Schiphol.
The first 20 minutes are critical; ensure your window is clear to capture Tenerife. During winter, look for the snow-capped mountains of Northern Spain. For arrival, the right side usually provides the best view of the A'DAM Tower and the Central Station area.
