Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the Danish archipelago and the dramatic Møns Klint chalk cliffs shortly after takeoff, as well as the transition into the German coastline.

Zealand Archipelago
Catch glimpses of the scattered islands south of Copenhagen as the aircraft climbs to cruising altitude.
Møns Klint
The stunning stretch of white chalk cliffs on the island of Møn is a visual highlight shortly after departure.
Rostock & Warnemünde
View the prominent port of Rostock and the popular seaside resort of Warnemünde on the German coast.
Erzgebirge Range
The flight path often passes near the Ore Mountains, marking the forested border with the Czech Republic.
Sit on the left for morning flights to minimize glare and maximize the view of the Danish cliffs. During the final approach to Munich, this side often provides a broader view of the city if the plane banks into the airport.

Fehmarn Belt
See the infrastructure connecting Scandinavia to Central Europe, including the island of Fehmarn and the sound bridge.
Harz Mountains
Look for the Brocken peak, the highest point in Northern Germany, which stands out from the northern plains.
Nuremberg Cityscape
The historical city of Nuremberg and its urban sprawl are clearly visible during the southern leg of the journey.
The Alps
During the descent into Munich, the snow-capped peaks of the Alps appear majestically on the southern horizon.
Choose the right side for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the German countryside. Upon arrival, if the aircraft lands towards the east, the right side offers the best view of the Bavarian Alps on the horizon.
