Which side of the plane to sit from Toulon-Hyères Airport (Hyeres) to Rotterdam The Hague Airport (Rotterdam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular front-row seat to the French Alps and the iconic peak of Mont Blanc, followed by the industrial marvel of the Port of Rotterdam during the descent.
High French Alps
Stunning views of the snow-capped peaks of the Écrins and Vanoise National Parks shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
Mont Blanc
Look for Europe's highest peak standing prominently above the surrounding Alpine range.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent-shaped lake marking the border between France and Switzerland is often visible to the east.
The Ardennes
Fly over the vast, rolling green forests and deep river valleys spanning Luxembourg and Belgium.
Port of Rotterdam
An incredible view of the 'Maasvlakte' and the massive container ships at one of the world's largest seaports.
The right side is the definitive choice for mountain lovers. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting as the sun illuminates the western faces of the Alps. Ensure your window is clear, as the contrast between the high peaks and the flat Dutch landscape later in the flight is a highlight. The view of the Port of Rotterdam is best during the standard approach into RTM.
Massif des Maures
Immediately after takeoff, view the dense cork oak forests and rugged coastal ridges of the Var region.
Rhône Valley Vineyards
Aerial perspectives of the famous wine-producing corridors of eastern France as you head north.
Zeeland Delta Works
The intricate network of dams, sluices, and barriers protecting the Dutch coast from the North Sea.
The Hague Skyline
A clear view of the administrative capital of the Netherlands and the North Sea beaches on final approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. This side is particularly interesting during the final 15 minutes of the flight when the Dutch coastline and flood defense systems come into view. Keep an eye out for the distinctive pattern of the polders—land reclaimed from the sea.
