FRA → CPH
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer scenic views of Northern Germany and the Baltic Sea, the right side is preferred for its iconic views of the Oresund Bridge during the final descent into Copenhagen.

Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring the Brocken peak visible in the distance.
Rostock Port
Views of the historic Hanseatic city and the busy Baltic ferry terminals at Warnemünde.
Oresund Bridge
The spectacular 8km long bridge and tunnel system connecting Copenhagen to Malmö, Sweden.
Saltholm & Peberholm
The natural and artificial islands in the Oresund strait seen during the final approach into Kastrup.
This is the prime side for the descent. The Oresund Bridge is best viewed when the aircraft approaches from the south or north; choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the bridge's transition into the sea.
