Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of major European landmarks, including a direct overhead or lateral view of Budapest, the distant Tatra Mountains, and the striking white chalk cliffs of the Danish coast during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🇭🇺

Budapest Panorama

Approximately 25-30 minutes after takeoff, enjoy a spectacular view of the Danube, the Parliament building, and the bridges of Budapest.

⛰️

High Tatra Mountains

The dramatic, jagged peaks of the High Tatras on the border of Slovakia and Poland are visible on the horizon.

🏭

Silesian Basin

The industrial heartland of southern Poland and the urban clusters of Ostrava and Katowice.

🌊

The Baltic Coast

The transition from the German mainland to the Baltic Sea, often passing near the island of Rügen.

⚪

Møn's White Cliffs

The striking white chalk cliffs of Stevns Klint or Møn are a highlight just before landing in Denmark.

🇸🇪

Malmö Skyline

Views of the Turning Torso skyscraper and the Swedish coast as the plane banks toward the CPH runway.

Sit on the right for the best morning light on the landscapes below. Be ready with your camera early in the flight for Budapest. During the winter months, this side offers the best chance to see the snow-capped Tatras against the horizon. For the best view of the Danish coastline, look out about 10 minutes before landing.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Belgrade Confluence

Clear views of the Sava and Danube rivers meeting shortly after takeoff from Nikola Tesla Airport.

🏰

Vienna & Lower Austria

Distant but visible views of the Austrian capital and the surrounding rolling hills of the Weinviertel.

🇨🇿

Prague & Central Bohemia

The red rooftops and winding Vltava river are often visible as the flight traverses the Czech Republic.

🌳

Saxony Landscapes

The dense forests and Elbe river valley as the flight crosses into eastern Germany.

🏢

Berlin Cityscape

A glimpse of the German capital's vast urban spread and the TV Tower on clear days.

🌉

Øresund Bridge

Iconic views of the massive bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden during the final descent into CPH.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the final approach into Copenhagen if the winds dictate a landing from the south, offering a perfect view of the Øresund Bridge and the Copenhagen city center.
