Exeter to Amsterdam flight path: EXT to AMS

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Exeter to Amsterdam. While takeoff offers interesting coastal views on the right, the landing approach on the left provides more distinctive and visually striking scenery—the geometric polder landscape and canal networks are uniquely Dutch and far more photogenic than the generic English farmland.

During takeoff from Exeter (EXT), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the English Channel and the Dorset coastline during the initial climb-out heading northeast. The contrast between the Devon coast and open water provides immediate visual interest. Notable sights include: Exeter city and surrounding Devonshire countryside, English Channel coastline, Dorset cliffs (visible as the aircraft climbs), Start Point headland.

When landing at Schiphol (AMS), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the approach to Amsterdam, particularly of the Dutch coastline, the North Sea, and the flat polder landscape with its distinctive canal networks and windmills characteristic of the Netherlands. Notable sights include: North Sea coastline, Dutch polder fields with canal systems, Ijsselmeer lake (visible on approach), Rotterdam or The Hague urban areas depending on exact approach vector.

The flight from Exeter (EXT) to Schiphol (AMS) takes about 1 hour 15 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 368 miles (592 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.
