Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Amsterdam to Tallinn-ulemiste International. The right side delivers the most concentrated visual payoff at takeoff with Amsterdam's canal ring and the IJmeer clearly visible. During cruise the route crosses the Baltic Sea which is largely featureless from either side, so the departure view is the deciding factor.

During takeoff from Schiphol (AMS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Schiphol's most common departure runways (18R/36L and 06/24 complex) mean a northeastward climb toward Tallinn often takes you over the eastern suburbs of Amsterdam and the IJmeer. The right side gives you a clear look at the city center, the IJ waterway, and the distinctive harbor layout as you climb out. Notable sights include: Amsterdam city center canal ring, IJmeer (eastern inland lake), Almere new town on the polder, Markermeer.

When landing at Tallinn (TLL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Tallinn airport sits just southeast of the city center. Arrivals typically come in from the west or southwest on runway 08/26. On a westerly approach heading east, the left side faces north toward Tallinn's Old Town on its limestone hill, the bay of Tallinn, and the Gulf of Finland beyond. Notable sights include: Tallinn Old Town on Toompea Hill, Tallinn Bay (Tallinna laht), Gulf of Finland, Tallinn's Lasnamäe limestone plateau district.

The flight from Schiphol (AMS) to Tallinn (TLL) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The route tracks northeast over the Netherlands, crossing into German airspace over the North German Plain, then over the Baltic Sea between Sweden and the Estonian coast. At cruise altitude you may see the Swedish coastline and scattered Baltic islands such as Gotland or Saaremaa depending on exact routing, though the Baltic crossing is largely open water with few distinguishing features.
