Which side of the plane to sit from Karup Airport (Karup) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for this short domestic hop as it provides the most direct view of the Great Belt Bridge, one of Europe's most impressive engineering feats, and a scenic approach over the Øresund.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌲

Lake District

The lush forests and rolling hills surrounding Silkeborg and the Gudenå river system.

🌉

Great Belt Bridge

A breathtaking view of the 18-kilometer link connecting the islands of Funen and Zealand.

⛪

Roskilde Cathedral

The UNESCO World Heritage site and its twin spires stand out against the landscape of Zealand.

🌾

Zealand Farmland

The traditional Danish 'patchwork' of agricultural fields and rural villages during mid-flight.

🏗️

Øresund Bridge

The massive bridge and tunnel complex connecting Copenhagen to Malmö, Sweden, visible on final approach.

The Great Belt Bridge is the primary landmark, usually appearing about 15 to 20 minutes into the flight. For the best experience, try to book a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the bridge towers. Evening flights are particularly scenic as the bridge lights begin to shimmer.

7.9
🏙️

Aarhus Skyline

View Denmark's second-largest city and its iconic harbor architecture shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Samsø Island

Spot the famous renewable energy island sitting in the middle of the Kattegat sea.

🌊

Kattegat Strait

Observe the heavy maritime traffic and small uninhabited islets dotting the water.

🏰

Copenhagen Harbor

Glance at the modern Opera House and the historic spires of the city center during descent.

🏖️

Amager Coastline

The white sands of Amager Strandpark and the Middelgrunden offshore wind farm near the airport.

Choose the left side if you want a chance to see the historic city center of Copenhagen. On flights landing toward the south, this side offers a panoramic view of the 'Lakes' and the inner harbor districts. Morning flights on this side offer soft, indirect lighting perfect for photography.
