BHX → CPH
Which side of the plane to sit from Birmingham International Airport (Birmingham) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Danish island chain, the engineering marvel of the Great Belt Bridge, and a stunning panoramic view of Copenhagen's skyline and the Oresund Bridge during the final descent.
East Anglian Plains
The patchwork of agricultural fields and rural landscapes across Norfolk and Suffolk.
Frisian Islands
Distant glimpses of the unique barrier islands chain off the Dutch and German coasts.
Great Belt Bridge
The spectacular suspension bridge connecting the islands of Funen and Zealand.
Roskilde Fjord
Historic waters near the ancient capital of Denmark, often visible on the descent.
Copenhagen Skyline
A beautiful view of the city's towers and modern architecture during the final approach.
Oresund Bridge
The iconic link between Denmark and Sweden visible just before touchdown at Kastrup.
Choose a window seat on the right for the most iconic approach into CPH. Sunset flights offer golden light over the Baltic islands. If landing from the east, you may fly directly over the Oresund Bridge for unparalleled views.
The Wash
The distinct square-shaped bay on England's east coast visible shortly after departure.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive arrays of offshore turbines visible across the blue expanse of the North Sea.
Jutland West Coast
The rugged and sandy coastline of western Denmark as you cross into Scandinavian airspace.
Aarhus Bay
Distant views of Denmark's second-largest city and its busy harbor area.
Kattegat Sea
The beautiful sea area located between the Jutland peninsula and the island of Zealand.
Sit forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is better for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the south. Keep an eye out for North Sea gas platforms midway through the journey.
