The left side instead faces mostly flat, feature-poor terrain over the Po Valley, eastern France, and the German plains.

Phase by phase
Takeoff from FLR
RIGHTFLR departures typically use runway 23, heading southwest before banking right to turn north toward Amsterdam. That right-hand turn tips the aircraft so passengers on the right side get a clear look down at Florence's historic core, the Arno river, and the Chianti and Apennine foothills ringing the city.
Landing at AMS
RIGHTWith southwesterly winds, Schiphol arrivals often land on the 18-side, meaning the aircraft approaches from the north over the IJsselmeer before turning south to land. During that final turn, the right side offers a view of Amsterdam's canal ring and the surrounding polder patchwork before the flat runway environment of the Polderbaan or Zwanenburgbaan comes into view.
