Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is the clear winner for its potential to view the massive Greenland ice sheet and the rugged volcanic landscapes of Iceland, which are highlights of the Northern Great Circle route.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Florida Gold Coast

Aerial views of the Fort Lauderdale and Miami metro areas immediately after takeoff.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Canadian Maritimes

Rocky cliffs and deep inlets of Newfoundland and Labrador as you head toward the Atlantic.

โ„๏ธ

Greenland Ice Sheet

Vast, undulating white ice caps and jagged coastal fjords visible on most northern flight tracks.

๐ŸŒ‹

Icelandic Terrain

Glacial rivers and volcanic peaks of southern Iceland, depending on the day's jet stream.

๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ด

Norwegian Coastline

The mountainous and indented coastline of southern Norway during the descent into Scandinavia.

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ

Jutland Peninsula

Lush green fields and coastal towns of western Denmark as you cross toward Copenhagen.

Since this is an overnight flight, the left side is best for early morning views of Greenland and Iceland around 5-7 hours after departure. During winter months, this side offers the highest chance of spotting the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) over the North Atlantic. Keep your window shade closed during the first half of the flight to sleep, then open it as you approach the Arctic.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
๐ŸŒ…

Atlantic Sunrise

A stunning, unobstructed view of the sun rising over the horizon during the transatlantic crossing.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

The Outer Banks

Distant views of the thin barrier islands of North Carolina during the climb out.

๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ

North Sea Wind Farms

Massive offshore wind arrays appearing as geometric patterns in the water near the European coast.

๐ŸŒ‰

ร˜resund Bridge

The famous bridge-tunnel connecting Denmark and Sweden, usually visible during the final turn to land.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Copenhagen Skyline

A bird's-eye view of the colorful houses of Amager and the historic city center spire.

The right side is ideal for passengers who want to see the sunrise and the iconic ร˜resund Bridge during the final approach. If the plane lands from the south (Runway 04), the right side gets a perfect view of the bridge and the Swedish city of Malmรถ. Be aware that the morning sun can be very bright on this side, so have sunglasses ready for the descent.
