BIQ → CPH
Which side of the plane to sit from Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport (Biarritz-bayonne) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers a potential glimpse of the Pyrenees after takeoff and a prime view of the iconic Oresund Bridge and Copenhagen city skyline during the final approach.
Pyrenees Mountains
Looking south during the initial climb provides a majestic vista of the snow-capped border between France and Spain.
Paris Peripheral View
On clear days, the urban sprawl of Paris and the Eiffel Tower may be visible in the distance as you head northeast.
Hamburg Cityscape
Excellent views of Germany's 'Gateway to the World,' including the Elbe River and the sprawling port area.
Oresund Bridge
The world-famous road and rail bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden is most frequently visible from the right side during landing.
Copenhagen Center
A sweeping view of the Danish capital's historic spires, modern architecture, and the harbor as the plane aligns for the runway.
Request a window seat on the right for the iconic Oresund Bridge view, which is the highlight of the trip. For evening flights, the right side catches the warm glow of the setting sun over the European interior. Keep your camera ready as soon as the descent starts over Northern Germany for the best city views.
Bay of Biscay
Dramatic views of the rugged coastline where the Pyrenees meet the Atlantic Ocean immediately after takeoff.
Loire Valley
Aerial perspective of the 'Garden of France,' featuring winding rivers and the faint outlines of historic chateaux.
Port of Rotterdam
One of the world's largest shipping hubs and intricate canal systems visible while traversing the Dutch coast.
Wadden Sea Islands
A unique chain of barrier islands stretching along the Dutch and German coasts, famous for their tidal flats.
Zealand Archipelago
Detailed views of the Danish islands and the rural landscape of Zealand during the descent into Copenhagen.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the coastal contours of Western Europe. It provides a great view of the North Sea's offshore wind farms during the final 20 minutes of the flight. If the plane circles for landing, you may see the northern parts of the city.
