Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the Baltic coastline, the historic city of Lübeck, and the iconic Øresund Bridge during the final descent into Copenhagen.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏭

Ruhr Metropolis

An expansive view of the industrial heart of Germany, including the sprawling urban landscape of Essen and Dortmund.

🌲

Teutoburg Forest

The long, narrow ridge of the Teutoburg Forest stands out against the flat plains of Lower Saxony.

⛪

Lübeck Altstadt

The distinct seven spires of Lübeck's medieval old town are visible as you approach the Baltic Sea coast.

🌉

Fehmarn Belt

The crossing between Germany and Denmark, where the construction of the new fixed link tunnel is often visible.

🏗️

Øresund Bridge

The world-famous bridge and tunnel connecting Denmark to Sweden is best viewed from this side on most standard approaches.

🇸🇪

Malmö Skyline

Across the water, the 'Turning Torso' skyscraper and the Swedish coast are clearly visible before touchdown.

Choose the right side to maximize views of the Baltic islands (Lolland and Falster). This side is particularly spectacular during late afternoon flights when the sun reflects off the Øresund strait. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes before landing for the bridge view.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🚢

Rhine River & Duisburg

Aerial view of the Rhine's winding path and the world's largest inland port in Duisburg shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Bremen & Weser River

Clear views of the Weser river snaking through the Hanseatic city of Bremen as the flight heads north.

🏖️

North Sea Horizon

On clear days, the distant coastline of the East Frisian Islands and the North Sea are visible to the northwest.

🏰

Copenhagen City Center

As the plane turns for landing, the historic towers, Tivoli Gardens, and the colorful harbor of Nyhavn are often visible.

✈️

Roskilde Fjord

The deep blue waters of the fjord and the historic cathedral town of Roskilde appearing during the initial descent.

Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Copenhagen city skyline. During morning flights, this side remains in the shade, reducing window glare for photography. Look out for the intense green of the Danish countryside as you cross over from Germany.
