Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the Mediterranean coast, the distant snow-capped Alps, and the iconic Øresund Bridge connecting Denmark to Sweden during the final approach.
Costa Brava
Stunning views of the rugged Catalan coastline and turquoise Mediterranean waters right after takeoff.
Western Alps
A clear view of the high Alps and Mont Blanc in the distance as the plane crosses France.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent-shaped lake on the border of France and Switzerland is often visible to the east.
Frankfurt am Main
The 'Mainhattan' skyline and one of Europe's busiest aviation hubs from high altitude.
Øresund Bridge
A spectacular view of the bridge-tunnel system linking Copenhagen and Malmö during the final descent.
Sit on the right side for the most iconic landmarks. The Øresund Bridge is best viewed if the flight approaches Copenhagen from the south or east. In winter, the right side provides the best visibility of the snowy Alpine range to the east.
Pyrenees Mountains
Dramatic views of the high peaks dividing Spain and France shortly after departure.
Massif Central
View of the ancient volcanic plateau and rugged landscape of south-central France.
Hamburg Panorama
Aerial view of the massive port, the Alster lakes, and the Elbe river winding through northern Germany.
Wadden Sea
Unique coastal wetlands and tidal flats along the German and Danish coastline.
Lolland and Falster
The picturesque islands of the Danish archipelago visible during the descent into Copenhagen.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. Look out for the Pyrenees roughly 20 minutes after takeoff and keep an eye out for the industrial landscape of the Ruhr area in the distance during mid-flight.
