Which side of the plane to sit from Hannover Airport (Hannover) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of maritime landmarks, including the historic Hanseatic coast, the striking white cliffs of Møn, and a perfect angle for the Øresund Bridge approach.
Search flights from HAJ to CPH
Lübeck Bay
The beautiful Baltic coastline of Schleswig-Holstein, featuring the ferry ports of Travemünde and the sandy beaches of Timmendorfer Strand.
Fehmarn Island
A clear view of the Fehmarn Sound Bridge and the island that serves as the gateway between Germany and Scandinavia.
Møn's Klint
The most dramatic geographic feature of the route; these bright white chalk cliffs contrast sharply with the deep blue Baltic Sea.
Øresund Bridge
An iconic view of the combined railway and motorway bridge connecting Copenhagen, Denmark, and Malmö, Sweden.
Middelgrunden Wind Farm
The famous curved array of offshore wind turbines located in the Øresund strait, signaling your final arrival.
Sit on the right for the best photographic opportunities of Møn's Klint. During the afternoon, the sun is positioned behind the aircraft on this side, illuminating the Danish islands and the Øresund Bridge with warm, soft light. For the best view of the bridge, watch closely during the last 5-10 minutes of the flight as the plane descends toward Kastrup.

Hamburg Skyline
Visible shortly after takeoff, you can see the Elbe River and the distinctive silhouette of the Elbphilharmonie if the route tracks slightly west.
Great Belt Bridge
Looking westward over the Belt Sea, the massive suspension bridge connecting Funen and Zealand is often visible on the horizon.
Roskilde Cathedral
As the plane crosses over Zealand, the twin spires of this UNESCO World Heritage site can be spotted near the fjord.
Copenhagen Center
Provides an excellent view of the inner city canals and the Black Diamond library when landing from the northwest.
The left side is preferable if the wind is blowing from the east, as the final approach will likely loop around the city, providing a bird's-eye view of Copenhagen's urban layout. Early morning flights on this side avoid direct sun glare, making it easier to spot the Great Belt Bridge in the distance.
