Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Turku Airport (Turku)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unrivaled view of the iconic Øresund Bridge shortly after takeoff and the world-renowned Turku Archipelago upon descent.
Øresund Bridge
The spectacular 8km engineering marvel connecting Copenhagen and Malmö, clearly visible after takeoff.
Malmö Skyline
View of Sweden's third-largest city, featuring the iconic 'Turning Torso' skyscraper near the waterfront.
Island of Öland
The long, narrow limestone island off the Swedish coast, known for its historic windmills and lighthouses.
Turku Archipelago
One of the world's most unique geographic features, consisting of tens of thousands of islands and rocky islets.
Archipelago Ferries
Large Baltic cruise ferries navigating the tight, winding channels of the Saaristomeri during the descent.
Sit on the right side for the bridge views immediately after takeoff. The highlight of this route is the Turku Archipelago; for the best experience, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern side of the islands, making the granite rocks glow.
Copenhagen Cityscape
Bird's-eye view of the Danish capital, including the Round Tower and Amalienborg Palace during initial climb.
Øresund Strait
Views of the busy maritime traffic and the artificial island of Saltholm nestled between Denmark and Sweden.
Swedish Småland
The deep green landscape of southern Sweden, dotted with countless small lakes and red wooden cottages.
Baltic Horizon
Wide-angle views of the northern Baltic Sea and the distant coastline of the Stockholm archipelago.
Finnish Lakeland
Upon final approach, the dense forest canopy of Southwest Finland broken by clear blue lake systems.
Choose a seat in front of the wing for the best views of Copenhagen's architecture. During winter, look for the 'ice-fringe' along the Swedish and Finnish coastlines which is more prominent on this northern-facing side.
