Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides the most iconic landmarks, including a high probability of seeing the Port of Hamburg, the Danish islands, and the metropolitan areas of Copenhagen and Malmö across the Øresund strait.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌲

Teutoburg Forest

The prominent ridge of forested hills in Northwest Germany provides a distinct geographic contrast to the surrounding plains.

⚓

Port of Hamburg

A spectacular view of Germany's 'Gateway to the World' with its massive container terminals and the Elbe River.

🌉

Øresund Bridge

Depending on the specific airway used, you can often spot the massive bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden.

🏙️

Copenhagen & Malmö

Clear views of the Danish capital and the Swedish city of Malmö separated by the blue waters of the Øresund.

🇸🇪

Västra Götaland Lakes

As you enter Swedish airspace, look for the deep blue lakes and dense forests typical of the southern Swedish interior.

Sit on the right for the best urban landmarks. Keep your camera ready about 25-30 minutes into the flight for the Port of Hamburg. On clear days, the engineering of the Øresund Bridge is a must-see landmark before the final turn toward Landvetter.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏭

Ruhr Industrial Valley

Immediately after takeoff, view the dense industrial landscape and urban sprawl of the Rhine-Ruhr region.

🌊

The Wadden Sea

Vast tidal flats and the North Sea coastline of Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein are visible to the west.

🌾

Jutland Peninsula

The green, flat agricultural landscapes of Western Denmark stretching towards the North Sea horizon.

🛥️

Gothenburg Archipelago

During the descent into GOT, see the thousands of small granite islands and coastal villages that define the Swedish West Coast.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 15 minutes of the flight for a view of the rugged Swedish coastline and the North Sea.
