CPH → LPA
Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most iconic landmarks, including the Øresund Bridge at departure and the magnificent Mount Teide on Tenerife just before landing.
Øresund Bridge
The massive bridge and tunnel system connecting Denmark and Sweden.
Frisian Islands
The unique chain of islands and tidal flats along the Dutch and German coast.
Brittany Peninsula
The rugged, rocky coastline of western France jutting into the Atlantic.
Atlantic Horizon
Deep blue ocean views as the plane crosses the Bay of Biscay.
Mount Teide
The towering peak of Tenerife, Spain's highest mountain, visible to the west before landing.
Gran Canaria West Coast
The dramatic volcanic cliffs and deep ravines of the island's western edge.
The right side is essential for seeing the Øresund Bridge immediately after takeoff from CPH. It also offers the best chance to spot Mount Teide on Tenerife to the west during the descent into Gran Canaria. On evening flights, this side provides a stunning sunset over the ocean.
Copenhagen City
A birds-eye view of the Danish capital and its harbor right after takeoff.
Northern German Plains
Vast agricultural landscapes and urban clusters like Hamburg.
Loire River Estuary
Where the longest river in France meets the Atlantic Ocean near Saint-Nazaire.
Picos de Europa
Distal views of the jagged, snow-capped peaks of Northern Spain.
Las Palmas Port
Excellent views of the busy shipping harbor and the city of Las Palmas on final approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to see the European coastline bathed in light. It is also the best side to see the urban density and harbor of Las Palmas during the final approach phase into LPA.
