Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Tromso to Amsterdam. While the takeoff from Tromsø favors the right side, the landing approach into Amsterdam from the left provides more extensive and visually distinctive scenery—the Ijsselmeer and the iconic Dutch polder landscape are more dramatic and recognizable than the Arctic fjords visible on departure. The left side wins overall for this route.
