Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Bremen Airport (Bremen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled view of the Copenhagen city center upon departure and a clearer perspective of the historic Hanseatic city of Lübeck during the descent into Northern Germany.
Copenhagen Cityscape
A stunning aerial view of the Danish capital, including the colorful Nyhavn district and the Royal Palaces shortly after takeoff.
Stevns Klint
The UNESCO-listed white chalk cliffs on the coast of Zealand, visible as the plane heads south over the Baltic Sea.
Lübeck Old Town
The 'City of Seven Spires' appears clearly, showing its unique island-shaped medieval center surrounded by the Trave River.
Lüneburg Heath
Expansive views of the nature reserve's forests and moorlands as the flight transitions into the Lower Saxony region.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out immediately after takeoff; if the plane departs towards the south, you will get a perfect view of the Øresund strait's coastline. During autumn, the changing colors of the German forests provide a beautiful mosaic pattern near the approach to Bremen.
Øresund Bridge
The massive engineering marvel connecting Denmark to Sweden is prominently visible stretching across the blue waters.
Fehmarn Island
The German island in the Baltic Sea, featuring the Fehmarn Sound Bridge which connects it to the mainland.
Kiel Canal
The world's busiest artificial waterway can be spotted as a long, straight silver line cutting through the Schleswig-Holstein landscape.
Weser River Estuary
On the final approach to Bremen, the winding Weser River and the industrial ports of the region come into view.
The right side is ideal for spotting the Øresund Bridge within the first 5 minutes of flight. Keep a camera ready for the Kiel Canal, which is best seen from cruising altitude. If the flight path takes a more westerly route, you might catch a glimpse of the Elbe River near Hamburg.
