CPH → LJU
Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (Ljubljana)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Alps upon descent, the right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic Julian Alps and Mount Triglav, Slovenia's highest peak, during the final approach into Ljubljana.

Danish Archipelago
Beautiful views of the islands of Zealand, Møn, and Lolland with their white chalk cliffs and turquoise waters.
German Baltic Coast
Clear sightlines of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern coastline and the port city of Rostock.
Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge)
The rolling, forested border region between Germany and the Czech Republic.
Hohe Tauern Range
Spectacular views of the highest peaks in Austria, including the Grossglockner, visible during the mid-to-late cruise phase.
Julian Alps & Mount Triglav
The highlight of the trip: a close-up view of Slovenia's iconic jagged mountains and its highest summit just before landing.
The right side is unbeatable for the descent into Slovenia. To see the Julian Alps clearly, try to book a seat ahead of the wing. Be aware that on afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, which can create glare; however, the sunset views over the Alpine peaks during late-day flights are spectacular. In winter, the snow-covered Austrian and Slovenian peaks are exceptionally brilliant on this side.

Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff for the Oresund Bridge, and watch for the transition from the flat European plains to the verticality of the Alps about 60-70 minutes into the flight.
