CPH β SKG
Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (Thessaloniki)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a dramatic crossing of the high Austrian Alps and the rugged peaks of the Balkan peninsula, culminating in a view of Mount Olympus during the descent.
Danish Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the numerous islands south of Zealand shortly after leaving Danish airspace.
Hohe Tauern
Spectacular views of the highest peaks of the Austrian Alps, including the snow-capped Grossglockner massif.
Dinaric Alps
Rugged, karst limestone mountain ranges stretching across Bosnia, Montenegro, and Albania.
Pindus Mountains
The dramatic 'spine of Greece' appearing as the aircraft crosses into Greek airspace from the north.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods is a massive, often snow-dusted peak visible to the west during the final approach.
The right side is the clear winner for mountain lovers and geographic variety. For the best views of the Alps and Mount Olympus, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Balkan mountain ranges.
Γresund Bridge
Immediate view of the engineering marvel connecting Denmark and Sweden shortly after departure from CPH.
Prague
The historic Czech capital and its surrounding rivers are often visible to the east during the mid-flight cruise.
Eastern Alps
Scenic views of the lower, forested Alpine ranges and rolling hills of Eastern Austria.
Danube River
Look for the massive silver ribbon of the Danube as the flight path crosses into the Balkan region.
Lake Doiran
The prominent border lake between North Macedonia and Greece visible during the initial stages of descent.
Ideal for early morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Baltic Sea. This side provides a better perspective of major Central European urban centers and the winding Danube.
