AAL β†’ AAR

Which side of the plane to sit from Aalborg Airport (Aalborg) to Aarhus Airport (Aarhus)?

Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Danish coastline, the mouth of the Limfjord, and the winding Mariager Fjord as the plane descends towards the Djursland peninsula.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Limfjord Estuary

Watch the transition from the narrow fjord to the open Kattegat sea near the town of Hals.

β›΅

Mariager Fjord

The longest fjord in Denmark, known for its beautiful curved shape and steep, green hillsides.

πŸ–οΈ

Djursland Northern Coast

Aerial views of the white sandy beaches and summer cottage areas along the northern rim of the peninsula.

🚒

Kattegat Sea

Expansive views of the shipping lanes and small islands scattered in the waters between Jutland and Sweden.

Sit on the left for the best sunrise views during morning flights. The flight is extremely short (often under 25 minutes), so look out the window immediately after takeoff to catch the Limfjord bridge. In winter, the frozen fjord edges are particularly striking from this height.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
πŸ™οΈ

Aalborg Cityscape

A clear view of the city's industrial waterfront, the Utzon Center, and the historical center shortly after takeoff.

🚜

Jutland Farmland

A patchwork quilt of agricultural fields and traditional Danish farmsteads characteristic of the region.

πŸ’§

Randers Fjord

The unique reed-lined waterway snaking its way from the town of Randers out to the coast.

The right side is best for sunset views on evening flights. Because the altitude remains low on this short hop, you get excellent detail of the rural landscape. Keep an eye out for the GudenΓ₯ river as it nears the coast.
