Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Burgas Airport (Bourgas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Oresund Bridge upon departure and a more direct view of the dramatic Tatra and Balkan mountain ranges, followed by the scenic descent into the Bulgarian coast.
Oresund Bridge
One of the best views in European aviation: the massive bridge and tunnel complex connecting Copenhagen to Malmo.
High Tatras
The highest range of the Carpathian Mountains, featuring jagged granite peaks along the Polish-Slovak border.
Bucharest Cityscape
As the flight crosses Romania, you can often spot the massive Palace of the Parliament and the urban sprawl of the capital.
Danubian Plain
The vast, golden agricultural plains of Southern Romania and Northern Bulgaria stretching toward the horizon.
Nessebar Peninsula
During the final descent, look for the ancient UNESCO-protected town of Nessebar jutting into the sea.
The right side is ideal for landmark spotters. Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Oresund Bridge right after takeoff. On afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you or overhead, providing excellent lighting for the mountain landscapes.
Oresund Strait
Aerial view of the busy shipping lanes and small islands between Denmark and Sweden shortly after takeoff.
Bornholm Island
Depending on the exact flight corridor, look down for the rocky Danish island in the middle of the Baltic Sea.
Eastern Carpathians
The dense, dark green forests of the Romanian Carpathian mountains provide a rugged landscape below.
Black Sea Coastline
A stunning perspective of the shoreline and the azure waters as the plane turns for its final approach to Burgas.
Choose this side if you enjoy maritime views and the expansive blue of the Baltic and Black Seas. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, which may cause glare, so midday or evening flights are preferred for photography.
