Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior view of the diverse Danish archipelago, the massive Great Belt Bridge, and usually offers a direct view of the Copenhagen city center and the harbor during the final approach.

πŸ™οΈ

Hamburg Panorama

A distant but clear view of the Alster Lake, the Elbphilharmonie, and the massive industrial port of Germany's second city.

⛴️

Kiel Canal

The world's busiest artificial waterway, cutting through the Schleswig-Holstein countryside from the North Sea to the Baltic.

πŸŒ‰

Great Belt Fixed Link

The spectacular 18km bridge and tunnel system connecting the Danish islands of Funen and Zealand.

🏝️

Danish Archipelago

Clear views over Lolland, Falster, and the smaller islands dotting the blue waters of the Baltic Sea.

🏰

Copenhagen City

During the descent into Kastrup, enjoy a bird's-eye view of the Tivoli Gardens, Christiansborg Palace, and the colorful Nyhavn district.

Choose the right side for the most iconic landmarks. The Great Belt Bridge is a highlight mid-flight. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Baltic islands and the Copenhagen skyline.

🌊

Wadden Sea

The UNESCO World Heritage tidal flats along the German and Danish North Sea coast, showing intricate sandbank patterns.

The wide mouth of the Elbe river near Cuxhaven, where major container ships enter and exit towards Hamburg.

Øresund Bridge

On specific landing patterns toward the east, the left side captures the iconic bridge and tunnel link to Sweden.

Offshore Wind Farms

Massive arrays of wind turbines situated in the North Sea and the Kattegat, demonstrating Northern Europe's green energy.

Watch for the shimmering tidal channels of the Wadden Sea shortly after reaching cruising altitude. This side is best during late afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare while looking north toward the Frisian Islands.
