AES → CPH
Which side of the plane to sit from Ålesund Airport (Alesund) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an unparalleled front-row seat to the Sunnmøre Alps at departure and the iconic Øresund Bridge approach into Copenhagen.
Sunnmøre Alps
Dramatic jagged peaks and deep-cut fjords immediately after departure from Ålesund.
Telemark Wilderness
Dense forests and highland lakes of Southern Norway as the flight moves inland.
Oslofjord Entrance
The widening mouth of the Oslofjord meeting the Skagerrak sea near the Norwegian-Swedish border.
Swedish Coastline
The rugged western coast of Sweden, including the archipelago near Gothenburg.
Øresund Bridge
Stunning aerial views of the 8km bridge and tunnel complex connecting Denmark and Sweden.
Early morning flights are spectacular for seeing the sun rise over the mountains. During the descent into CPH, keep your camera ready for the Øresund Bridge which is most visible from the left side on standard landing patterns.
Atlantic Coastline
Sweeping views of the Norwegian coastline where the fjords meet the open North Sea.
Hardangervidda Edge
The western periphery of Europe's largest high-mountain plateau, often snow-capped.
Skagen (The Tip)
The distinctive sandy point of Northern Jutland where the Skagerrak and Kattegat seas collide.
Anholt Offshore Wind Farm
Massive arrays of wind turbines visible in the waters between Jutland and Zealand.
Copenhagen Cityscape
Views of the Danish capital's red roofs and modern waterfront architecture during final approach.
Choose the right side for sunset flights to enjoy golden hour over the North Sea. It offers a great perspective of the Danish rural landscape and coastal wind farms during the second half of the journey.
