HAU → CPH
Which side of the plane to sit from Haugesund Airport (Haugesund) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Norwegian fjords and the intricate rocky archipelago of the Swedish west coast before the descent into Denmark.
Sunnhordland Fjords
Immediately after takeoff, view the labyrinth of islands and deep blue fjords characteristic of the Norwegian west coast.
Folgefonna Glacier
On clear days, look north to see the distant white expanse of Norway's third-largest glacier resting atop the mountains.
Bohuslän Archipelago
As the flight crosses the Skagerrak, the rugged, pink-granite islands of the Swedish west coast come into view.
Malmö Skyline
During the final approach, the Turning Torso skyscraper and the urban sprawl of Malmö are visible across the water.
Øresund Bridge
A spectacular view of the massive bridge and tunnel system connecting Sweden and Denmark just before touchdown.
For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Norwegian mountains and Swedish coastline. Seat yourself well ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Øresund Bridge during the descent into CPH.
Stavanger Coastline
Early in the flight, catch views of the bustling maritime activity around the Stavanger and Jæren region.
Skagen's Sandy Tip
Look for 'Grenen,' the northernmost point of Denmark where the North Sea and Baltic Sea meet in a visible clash of waves.
Kattegat Sea Traffic
Watch for large cargo ships and ferries navigating the busy shipping lanes between Denmark and Sweden.
Great Belt Bridge
Depending on the specific flight path, you may see the impressive Storebælt bridge connecting the Danish islands.
Zealand Countryside
Enjoy the orderly patchwork of green and yellow fields that define the pastoral landscape of eastern Denmark.
Select the right side for evening flights to enjoy spectacular sunsets over the North Sea. This side is also better for spotting the unique sandy hook of Skagen if the pilot takes a more southerly route over the Jutland peninsula.
