Amsterdam to Edinburgh flight path: AMS to EDI

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Amsterdam to Edinburgh. While the takeoff briefly favors the right side with a glimpse of Amsterdam, the majority of the flight and the final approach favor the left side, which tracks closer to the English northeast coast and delivers a clear view of Edinburgh's castle and Arthur's Seat on landing, compared to mostly open North Sea on the right.

During takeoff from Schiphol (AMS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Schiphol departures often climb out on a southbound heading before turning right onto the northwest course toward Scotland, and that turn puts Amsterdam and the IJsselmeer under the right wing briefly before the aircraft settles over the Dutch coast and North Sea. Notable sights include: Amsterdam city center and canal ring, IJsselmeer lake, Dutch polder farmland, North Sea coastline near Zandvoort.

When landing at Edinburgh (EDI), sit on the Left side for the best views. On the approach into Edinburgh from the northeast, the aircraft turns to line up with runway 24, and during this turn the city itself, including Edinburgh Castle's rock and Arthur's Seat, sits off to the southeast on the left side, making for a much more recognizable skyline than the open water on the opposite side. Notable sights include: Edinburgh Castle, Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh city skyline, Pentland Hills.

The flight from Schiphol (AMS) to Edinburgh (EDI) takes 1h 35m.

Open North Sea waters, with the Northumberland coastline near Berwick-upon-Tweed and the Scottish Borders becoming visible as the flight nears Scotland.
