CPH โ†’ FLL

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for this transatlantic journey, offering prime views of the majestic Greenland ice cap and the rugged Canadian wilderness with better lighting, as it faces away from the direct southern sun.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Greenland Ice Sheet

The absolute highlight, featuring jagged fjords, massive glaciers, and floating icebergs.

๐ŸŒฒ

Labrador Coast

The desolate and beautiful wilderness of Northern Canada, often snow-covered even in spring.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

East Coast Megalopolis

Distant views of major cities like Boston or New York depending on the specific air corridor.

๐ŸŠ

The Everglades

The vast 'River of Grass' and intricate wetland patterns visible as you bank toward FLL.

Greenland is usually visible approximately 3.5 to 4.5 hours into the flight; set a timer so you don't miss it. The lighting on this side is softer and better for photography. During the final approach to Fort Lauderdale, you will have a panoramic view of the suburban sprawl and the unique ecosystem of the Everglades.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
๐ŸŒ‰

ร˜resund Bridge

Catch a glimpse of the massive bridge connecting Copenhagen to Malmรถ shortly after takeoff.

๐ŸŒŠ

North Atlantic

Deep blue expanses that occasionally reveal passing cargo ships or whitecaps.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Mid-Atlantic Coast

Views of the Outer Banks and the Carolina coastline as the flight heads south.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Florida Gold Coast

Stunning views of the high-rise buildings and turquoise waters of the Atlantic during the descent.

The left side will face the sun for the duration of the flight, which can cause significant glare and heat. Keep your window shade partially closed during the mid-flight crossing, but open it as you reach the Florida coast for excellent views of the beaches and the Atlantic Ocean.
