Search flights from BUD to CPH
High Tatra Mountains
Stunning jagged granite peaks forming the natural border between Slovakia and Poland.
Wrocław
The historic 'City of a Hundred Bridges' in western Poland visible as you head north.
Baltic Sea Horizon
A vast blue expanse as the plane crosses the water between the Polish-German border and Denmark.
Øresund Bridge
The spectacular engineering marvel connecting Sweden and Denmark, including the artificial island of Peberholm.
Saltholm Island
The low-lying, flat island and nature reserve located directly adjacent to the CPH runways.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'bridge-to-tunnel' view of the Øresund crossing. Morning flights are ideal for capturing the light reflecting off the Tatras. To avoid the wing blocking the bridge during descent, choose a seat either far forward or toward the very back of the cabin.

Budapest Cityscape
Aerial views of the Danube River and the Hungarian Parliament building shortly after takeoff from BUD.
Bohemian-Moravian Highlands
The lush, rolling green hills of the Czech Republic's central regions.
Rügen Island
Potential views of the white chalk cliffs and sandy beaches of Germany's largest island in the Baltic.
Amager Coastline
The final approach provides a close-up look at the coastal parks and modern residential architecture of Copenhagen's Amager district.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to enjoy well-lit views of the Central European landscape without the sun's glare. During the final approach, this side often yields better views of the Copenhagen city center if the wind requires a landing from the south.
