TRD → AMS
Which side of the plane to sit from Trondheim Airport Værnes (Trondheim) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred for its dramatic views of the Norwegian fjords and jagged coastline during the first half of the flight, followed by a scenic approach over the Dutch Wadden Islands.
Trondheimsfjord
Immediate views of the deep blue fjord and the coastal landscapes surrounding Trondheim.
Romsdal Alps
Spectacular views of jagged peaks including the famous Trollveggen (Troll Wall) mountain face.
West Coast Archipelago
A bird's-eye view of the thousands of small islands and coastal towns like Ålesund and Molde.
North Sea Platforms
Look for the distinctive shapes of offshore oil and gas rigs dotting the North Sea horizon.
Wadden Islands
The unique UNESCO-listed sandbanks and tidal flats of the Dutch coast appearing before landing.
The Right Side offers the most dramatic scenery during the first 30 minutes of the flight. For the best experience, try to sit behind the wing to see the steep drop-offs of the Norwegian fjords. Be aware that the North Sea section can be cloudy, but the arrival over the Dutch coast is often clear and beautiful.
Trollheimen Mountains
Impressive views of the snow-capped peaks and deep valleys in central Norway shortly after takeoff.
Telemark Interior
A vast expanse of forests, lakes, and rugged terrain as the aircraft traverses southern Norway.
Skagerrak Strait
The transition from the Norwegian coastline to the open waters between Norway and Denmark.
IJsselmeer
Views of the Netherlands' largest lake and the surrounding reclaimed polder lands during descent.
Amsterdam Skyline
A potential view of the historic canal district and the Zuidas business district depending on the runway in use.
Choose the Left Side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. During the descent into Amsterdam, watch for the intricate network of Dutch canals and the massive Markermeer lake. If landing on Runway 06, you will have a front-row seat to the city center.
