Search flights from TLL to AMS
Estonian Archipelago
Stunning views of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa islands with their jagged coastlines and dense forest cover.
Bornholm Island
The rocky Danish island appears as a lone gem in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
Wadden Sea
The UNESCO-listed intertidal zone featuring intricate sandbanks and tidal flats stretching along the Frisian Islands.
IJsselmeer
The massive closed-off inland bay, formerly the Zuiderzee, recognizable by its vast expanse of fresh water.
Afsluitdijk
The 32km long major dam and causeway that separates the IJsselmeer from the North Sea, a marvel of Dutch engineering.
The right side is unbeatable for maritime enthusiasts. For the best lighting, book a late afternoon flight to see the sunset over the North Sea. Watch closely during the descent; the pattern of the West Frisian Islands is one of Europe's most unique geographic sights from the air. Polarized sunglasses will help reduce water reflection and highlight the turquoise sandbanks.

Tallinn Skyline
Panoramic views of the medieval Old Town and the modern business district immediately after takeoff from Lake Ülemiste.
Curonian Spit
The long, thin sand dune spit separating the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea coast of Lithuania and Russia.
Gdańsk Bay
Aerial perspective of the major Polish port city and the Hel Peninsula extending into the Baltic.
Port of Hamburg
On clear days, the massive industrial crane arrays and Elbe River traffic are visible in the distance to the south.
Dutch Polders
The geometric precision of reclaimed land and drainage canals as the flight descends into the Netherlands.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the southern sun. This side is better for spotting the major port cities of the southern Baltic coast. During the final approach to Schiphol, the left side often provides a great view of the city of Amsterdam if landing on the Polderbaan or Zwanenburgbaan runways.
