AAR → CPH
Which side of the plane to sit from Aarhus Airport (Aarhus) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the iconic Great Belt Bridge (Storebæltsbroen) and the transition from the Danish islands to the capital, concluding with a potential view of the Øresund Bridge.
Djursland Peninsula
Lush green forests and agricultural landscapes of eastern Jutland visible shortly after takeoff from AAR.
Samsø Island
The renewable energy island known for its rolling hills and diverse patchwork of vegetable fields.
Great Belt Bridge
One of the world's longest suspension bridges connecting the islands of Funen and Zealand over the Baltic Sea.
West Zealand Farmland
The characteristic flat, fertile plains of rural Denmark dotted with traditional red-roofed farmhouses.
Øresund Bridge
The massive bridge and tunnel complex connecting Denmark to Sweden, visible during the final descent into CPH.
The right side is essential for spotting the Great Belt Bridge, usually visible halfway through the flight. On clear days, you can see all the way to the Swedish coast. Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight while viewing the bridges.
Kattegat Sea
Expansive views of the clear blue waters between Jutland and Zealand immediately after departure.
North Zealand Coast
The scenic 'Danish Riviera' with its white sandy beaches and coastal holiday towns like Tisvildeleje.
Roskilde Fjord
A long, narrow fjord system known for its Viking history and shallow, winding waterways.
Copenhagen Skyline
Aerial perspective of the inner city's copper spires, modern architecture, and the Amalienborg Palace.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Northern Zealand coastline and the dense urban layout of Copenhagen during a northern approach. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting on the city's landmarks without sun glare.
