Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Milano Linate Airport (Milan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the highest Swiss Alpine peaks, including the Bernese Oberland, and a more dramatic perspective of the Italian lakes during the descent into Milan.
Great Belt Bridge
The massive suspension bridge connecting the Danish islands of Zealand and Funen.
The Black Forest
Dense, dark evergreen canopies stretching across the rolling hills of Southwestern Germany.
Bernese Oberland
Unrivaled views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks piercing through the clouds.
Monte Rosa Massif
The second highest peak in Western Europe, dominating the horizon on the approach to Italy.
Lake Maggiore
A stunning view of the vast lake and the Borromean Islands just before crossing into the Po Valley.
The right side is the 'mountain side' for this route. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting on the Alpine glaciers. Try to get a seat away from the wing to fully appreciate the sheer scale of the Alps as you cross from Switzerland into Italy.
Øresund Bridge
The iconic bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden visible immediately after takeoff from Kastrup.
Elbe River
The winding river through Northern Germany, often passing near the city of Hamburg.
Eastern Swiss Alps
Glaciated peaks of the Graubünden region and the jagged silhouettes of the Appenzell Alps.
Lake Como
The distinctive Y-shaped lake with steep forested shores as you begin your final descent.
Milan City Center
Clear views of the Duomo and the modern Porta Nuova skyscrapers when landing from the North.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is better for spotting the Milanese skyline on arrival, especially if the plane approaches from the North or East. Keep an eye out for the Baltic islands shortly after departure.
