CPH → ABZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Aberdeen Dyce Airport (Aberdeen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Øresund Bridge during departure and typically provides a more dramatic angle of the rugged Scottish coastline and the Aberdeenshire cliffs upon arrival.

Øresund Bridge
A clear view of the iconic bridge and tunnel system connecting Copenhagen to Malmö, Sweden.
North Jutland Coast
Aerial perspective of the Limfjord and the sandy northwestern tip of the Danish mainland.
North Sea Oil Rigs
Look for tiny specks in the ocean which are active oil and gas platforms in the North Sea.
Dunnottar Castle Area
On southern approaches, you may spot the dramatic ruins of this medieval fortress on the cliffs.
Aberdeenshire Cliffs
The stark, rocky transition from the North Sea to the Scottish highlands just before touchdown.
For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. This side is prone to glare on evening flights as you head west. Keep your eyes peeled halfway through the flight for the Ekofisk or similar oil fields, which look like small metallic islands in the vast blue.

Copenhagen Skyline
View of the Amager district and the historic spires of central Copenhagen shortly after takeoff.
Jutland Farmlands
The geometric patchwork of Denmark's agricultural heartland as you cross the peninsula.
North Sea Horizon
Perfect unobstructed views of the sunset if flying on a late afternoon or evening departure.
Aberdeen Harbour
A view of the busy commercial port and the 'Granite City' architecture during the final descent.
Balmedie Sand Dunes
Extensive golden sand dunes and wind farms located just north of the city center.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the water. It also offers a better view of the city of Aberdeen itself if the aircraft approaches from the north. Bring binoculars to spot the massive support vessels and tankers entering Aberdeen's tight harbour entrance.
