Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior view of the Swedish coastline and the most iconic sights during the approach into Copenhagen, including the Øresund Bridge and the city skyline.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🚢

Gdańsk Bay

Aerial view of the shipping lanes and the industrial port area of Gdańsk and Gdynia upon departure.

🏝️

Bornholm Island

Depending on the flight corridor, this Danish island often appears as a distinct landmass in the middle of the Baltic.

🇸🇪

Swedish Coastline

The southern shores of Scania (Skåne) are clearly visible, showing the proximity between the two countries.

🌉

Øresund Bridge

A spectacular view of the combined railway and motorway bridge-tunnel connecting Malmö and Copenhagen.

🏙️

Copenhagen Skyline

Clear views of the city's modern architecture, historic spires, and the Middelgrunden offshore wind farm.

The right side is essential for the iconic Øresund Bridge view. On evening flights, you will be facing North/Northwest, often catching a long-lasting sunset over the Kattegat sea during the summer months.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏖️

Puck Bay

Visible immediately after takeoff, showcasing shallow, turquoise waters and sandbars near the Polish coast.

🪁

Hel Peninsula

The unique, 35km-long narrow sandbar that separates the Bay of Puck from the open Baltic Sea.

🪨

Stevns Klint

Dramatic white chalk cliffs on the Danish coast as the plane prepares for its descent into Sjælland.

🌾

Amager Nature Park

The sprawling green wetlands and coastal meadows on the southern tip of the island of Amager.

For the best view of the Hel Peninsula, watch closely within the first 10 minutes of flight. Morning flights on this side are preferable as the sun will be behind the aircraft, reducing glare on the window.
