Which side of the plane to sit from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (Athens) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Balkans and Central Europe, the right side is preferred for sightings of Mount Olympus and the iconic Oresund Bridge during the descent into Copenhagen.

Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the gods and Greece's highest peak, often rising above the clouds.
Belgrade and the Danube
The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers at the heart of the Serbian capital.
Lake Balaton
The largest lake in Central Europe, known for its distinctive milky green-blue color.
Danube River
Visible multiple times as it winds through the plains of Hungary and Austria.
Oresund Bridge
The iconic engineering marvel connecting Denmark to Sweden, visible during the final approach into Kastrup.
The right side offers a spectacular view of Mount Olympus shortly after takeoff. Keep an eye out for the Danube River as it snakes through Belgrade and Budapest. On arrival into CPH, if the aircraft lands from the south on Runway 04, the Oresund Bridge is perfectly visible. This side is also better for sunrise views on early morning flights.
