CPH → EWR
Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more direct view of the jagged Greenland coastline and Icelandic glaciers, topped off with a high probability of seeing the Manhattan skyline during the final descent into Newark.

Norwegian Fjords
Breathtaking glimpses of the southwestern Norwegian coastline shortly after takeoff from Copenhagen.
Icelandic Highlands
Depending on the flight path, clear views of Iceland's volcanic landscapes and massive glaciers like Vatnajökull.
Greenland Fjords
Dramatic views of the jagged mountains and deep glacial fjords along Greenland's southeastern coast.
Labrador Wilderness
The untouched, lake-filled boreal forests of Northern Quebec and Labrador.
Manhattan Skyline
Often provides the iconic 'postcard' view of Central Park and the New York City skyscrapers when landing on Runway 22.
The right side is the 'Greenland Side.' Because this is a westbound flight, the sun will be behind or above you, reducing glare for photography. The highlight is the landing: if EWR is using Runway 22L or 22R, you will have a front-row seat to the entire Manhattan skyline. Seasonal tip: in winter, the low sun angle creates long shadows over the Greenland ice cap, making the terrain appear even more dramatic.

North Sea Crossing
Expansive views of the North Sea as you leave the Danish and Norwegian coasts behind.
Southern Greenland Ice
Vast stretches of the southern ice sheet and floating icebergs in the Labrador Sea.
Newfoundland Coastline
The rugged, rocky shores and deep inlets of eastern Canada as you re-enter continental airspace.
Boston & Massachusetts Bay
Detailed views of the New England coastline and the metropolitan area of Boston.
Jersey Shore & Gateway
Views of the Atlantic Highlands and Sandy Hook before banking into the Newark approach.
The left side is superior for catching the sunrise on early departures and offers a great perspective of the New England coast. For the best views of the Canadian Maritimes, keep your window shade open during the mid-flight transition from the ocean to land. Avoid seats over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the icebergs in the Labrador Sea.
