SVQ β AMS
Which side of the plane to sit from Sevilla Airport (Sevilla) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic landmarks, including the high peaks of the Pyrenees, a distant view of Madrid, and the best probability of seeing the historic canal rings of Amsterdam during the landing sequence.
Central Pyrenees
Breathtaking views of the highest snow-capped peaks separating the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe.
Madrid and Central System
Distant views of the Spanish capital and the rugged Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range.
Paris Basin
On clear days, the distinct layout of the French capital's outer sprawl is often visible.
Brussels and Antwerp
Dense urban clusters of Belgium's major cities and the winding Scheldt river.
Amsterdam Canal District
The world-famous horseshoe-shaped canal rings are frequently visible if the plane approaches from the south or east.
Markermeer and Dikes
The vast reclaimed polders and the long dikes separating the Markermeer from the IJsselmeer.
For the best experience, choose the right side on afternoon flights to benefit from soft lighting on the Pyrenees. This side is also your best bet for seeing the city of Amsterdam itself; depending on the active runway (especially if landing on the Zwanenburgbaan), the city center unfolds right beneath your window.
Bay of Biscay Coastline
Stunning views of the rugged French Atlantic coast as the flight bypasses the Gulf of Gascony.
Loire River Estuary
The mouth of France's longest river near Saint-Nazaire, where the river meets the Atlantic.
Γle de RΓ© and La Rochelle
Distinctive white sandy beaches and the bridge connecting the island to the mainland.
Port of Rotterdam
Massive scale of the world-class shipping terminals and the Maasvlakte industrial area.
Zeeland Delta Works
The complex system of dams, sluices, and bridges protecting the Dutch coast from the North Sea.
The left side is ideal for coastal enthusiasts. To avoid direct sunlight glare when flying north, this side is preferable during morning flights. During the descent into Schiphol, keep your eyes peeled for the intricate North Sea canal systems and the industrial beauty of the Dutch coastline.
