Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most iconic view of the route: the Øresund Bridge connecting Sweden and Denmark during the final descent into Copenhagen.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Kraków Old Town

Aerial view of the Wawel Royal Castle and the historic city center shortly after takeoff from KRK.

🏙️

Wrocław

The 'City of Bridges' and the winding Oder River are often visible as the flight traverses Western Poland.

🏖️

Szczecin Lagoon

The unique coastal geography where the Oder meets the Baltic Sea near the Polish-German border.

🇸🇪

Malmö Skyline

Clear views of the Turning Torso skyscraper and the Swedish coastline as the plane descends.

🌉

Øresund Bridge

A spectacular view of the nearly 8km bridge and tunnel system linking Scandinavia to Central Europe.

Choose the left side for sunset flights to enjoy the glow over the Baltic Sea. This side is also superior for spotting the Øresund Bridge when the plane approaches CPH from the south or east, which is the most common landing pattern.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🛶

Vistula River

The winding path of Poland's longest river stretching north through the Polish plains.

🏢

Poznań

A great perspective of the historic central square and modern developments in one of Poland's oldest cities.

🌊

Baltic Sea Expanse

Deep blue views of the open sea and occasional shipping traffic heading toward the port of Gdynia.

🏝️

Møn and Zealand

The beautiful Danish archipelago and the white chalk cliffs of Stevns Klint can be seen on clear days.

🏭

Copenhagen Port

Views of the Amager Bakke waste-to-energy plant and the industrial harbor as the plane nears the runway.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides a great overview of the Danish islands and the industrial architecture of Copenhagen's outskirts during the final seconds before touchdown.
