Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Palanga International Airport (Palanga)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the historic Copenhagen skyline during takeoff and provides a continuous panorama of the southern Swedish coastline throughout the first half of the journey.
Copenhagen Cityscape
Aerial views of the Danish capital, including the Round Tower and the colorful houses of Nyhavn shortly after lift-off.
Turning Torso
The iconic neo-futurist residential skyscraper in Malmö, Sweden, visible as the plane crosses the Øresund.
The Swedish Riviera
The white sandy beaches of Skanör and Falsterbo at the southwestern tip of Sweden.
Ystad Coastline
Clear views of the picturesque coastal town of Ystad and the rolling hills of the Skåne region.
Lithuanian Littoral
The dense pine forests and the long sandy beaches of Palanga and Šventoji during the final approach.
Sit on the left for the best views of Malmö's architecture. During sunset flights, this side experiences beautiful golden light reflecting off the Baltic Sea. For the best landing view, choose a seat forward of the wing to see the Palanga pier as you descend.
Øresund Bridge
The massive combined railway and motorway bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden, visible immediately after departure.
Saltholm Island
A flat, low-lying island used as a nature reserve for birds, located right in the middle of the Øresund strait.
Bornholm Island
On clear days, the rocky Danish island of Bornholm can be seen as a distinct silhouette in the middle of the Baltic.
Curonian Spit
The narrow, 98 km long sand-dune spit that separates the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea, visible to the south during approach.
Port of Klaipėda
Lithuania's largest seaport, identifiable by its massive cranes and cargo ships just south of Palanga.
The Øresund Bridge is the primary landmark on this side; be ready with your camera seconds after wheels up from CPH. If the flight path takes a southerly approach into PLQ, the Curonian Spit sand dunes are a world-class geographic feature to watch for.
