Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Aarhus Airport (Aarhus)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the scenic Northern Zealand coastline and the rolling hills of Mols Bjerge National Park during the descent into Djursland.
The Danish Riviera
The affluent northern coastline of Zealand, featuring upscale seaside towns and white sandy beaches.
Kronborg Castle
The legendary home of Shakespeare's Hamlet in Elsinore is often visible on the horizon during the initial climb.
Hesselø Island
A small, remote island in the Kattegat sea that serves as a key navigation point for this route.
Mols Bjerge
Stunning glacial landscapes and rolling hills of the National Park during the final descent phase.
Kalø Castle Ruin
The historic 14th-century medieval fortress ruin located on a small island in Kalø Vig.
The right side is ideal for nature enthusiasts. The descent into Aarhus Airport typically tracks over the Djursland peninsula, offering perfect views of Mols Bjerge's unique topography. During sunset, this side captures the golden light reflecting off the Kattegat waters and the interior Danish landscape.
Copenhagen Skyline
A panoramic view of the Danish capital's historic spires and modern harbor architecture shortly after takeoff.
Oresund Bridge
The iconic engineering marvel connecting Denmark and Sweden, visible if the aircraft departs towards the east.
Samsø Island
A bird's eye view of the world-famous renewable energy island situated in the middle of the Kattegat.
Aarhus Bay
Scenic approach over the southern waters of the bay before turning inland towards the airport.
Choose the left side for the best aerial perspective of Copenhagen's city center during departure. Early morning flights provide excellent lighting on the city's canals. If taking off from runway 04R, look for the Middelgrunden offshore wind farm immediately after rotation.
