Which side of the plane to sit from Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views, including the rugged Gothenburg archipelago at takeoff, the historic Kronborg Castle in Helsingør, and a superior perspective of the Øresund Bridge and Copenhagen's city skyline during the final approach.
Gothenburg Archipelago
Stunning aerial views of the granite islands and coastal fishing villages shortly after takeoff.
Kronborg Castle
The world-famous 'Hamlet' castle in Elsinore (Helsingør) is visible as the plane crosses into Danish airspace.
The Kattegat
Expansive views of the sea lane between Denmark and Sweden, often dotted with large international cargo ships.
The Øresund Bridge
An unparalleled view of the 8km bridge, the artificial island Peberholm, and the Drogden Tunnel entrance.
Copenhagen Waterfront
Aerial views of the Danish capital’s modern architecture, including the Opera House and the Royal Library.
This is the 'scenic' side for this route. Sit here for the best chance to see the Øresund Bridge. Evening flights offer spectacular views of the sun setting over the Danish coast and the Copenhagen city lights.
Halland Forests
Dense Swedish woodlands and numerous small glacial lakes visible as you head south from Landvetter.
Helsingborg City
A clear view of the Swedish port city and its historic Kärnan tower situated at the narrowest point of the Øresund.
Turning Torso
Malmö's famous twisting skyscraper can be seen on the horizon to the east as the aircraft begins its descent.
Landvetter Lakes
The scenic Lake Västra Ingsjön and surrounding hilly terrain immediately after departing Gothenburg.
The left side is preferable on morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. It offers a better view of the Swedish mainland and the city of Malmö during the final approach phase if the plane lands from the east.
