CPH β FLR
Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Peretola Airport (Florence)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Alps, the right side is generally superior for its perspective of the high central peaks, Lake Garda, and the quintessential rolling landscapes of Tuscany during the descent into Florence.
Copenhagen Panorama
A full view of the Danish capital, its canals, and the Amager area during the initial climb.
Central Alpine Chain
Spectacular views of the highest European peaks, including the Zugspitze and the snowy Tyrolean Alps.
Lake Garda
The deep blue waters of Italy's largest lake, framed by steep mountains at its northern tip.
Bologna & Emilia-Romagna
The red-roofed city of Bologna and the fertile Po Valley landscape before crossing the mountains.
Tuscan Hills
Iconic scenery of vineyards, olive groves, and cypress-lined roads during the low-altitude approach to FLR.
Choose the right side for afternoon or evening flights to catch the golden hour over the Alps and the Tuscan countryside. This side provides the best view of Lake Garda as the flight enters Italian airspace. Note that Florence Airport is nestled in a valley, so the final descent offers very close-up views of the hills.
Γresund Bridge
Aerial view of the massive bridge and tunnel system connecting Denmark to Sweden shortly after takeoff.
Berlin & Brandenburg
Distant views of the German capital and the surrounding lake-dotted plains of eastern Germany.
Eastern Alps & Dolomites
Dramatic, jagged limestone peaks of the Dolomites and the Hohe Tauern range in Austria.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days, the shimmering Adriatic coastline and the distant outline of Venice can be seen to the southeast.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged spine of Italy providing a dramatic backdrop as the plane begins its final approach into Tuscany.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh direct sunlight. Keep your eyes peeled immediately after takeoff for a glimpse of the Swedish coast. As you cross the Alps, the left side offers a better view of the distinctive, sharp-edged Dolomite peaks.
