BLLAAL

Which side of the plane to sit from Billund Airport (Billund) to Aalborg Airport (Aalborg)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the iconic East Jutland fjords, the Kattegat coastline, and the industrial landscape of the eastern Limfjord upon descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Randers Fjord

A long, winding waterway that connects the city of Randers to the Kattegat sea.

⛴️

Mariager Fjord

Known as Denmark's most beautiful fjord, featuring steep wooded hills and narrow blue inlets.

🏖️

Kattegat Coastline

The eastern shore of Jutland, where the land meets the Baltic Sea, visible on a clear day.

🏗️

Aalborg Port

The industrial docks and the iconic Limfjord Bridge visible during the final approach into Aalborg Airport.

The right side is ideal for capturing the unique fjord geography of Northern Denmark. Aim for late afternoon flights when the sun reflects off the water of Mariager Fjord. Watch for the distinct transition from the open sea to the narrow Limfjord as the plane aligns for landing.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Silkeborg Lake District

Denmark's highest concentration of lakes and hills, appearing shortly after takeoff from Billund.

⛪

Viborg Cathedral City

The historic heart of Jutland, visible as a cluster of red roofs centered around its landmark twin-towered cathedral.

🌾

Himmerland Landscapes

A patchwork of agricultural fields and heathland characteristic of the interior North Jutland region.

Sit on the left for the best views of the 'Danish Lake District' shortly after takeoff. Morning flights provide soft, even lighting across the green interior plains of Jutland. This side is better if you prefer inland geography over coastal views.
