Sørlandet Archipelago
The intricate network of islands and coastal inlets near Kristiansand immediately after takeoff.
Swedish Coastline
On clear days, the rugged Bohuslän coast of Sweden is visible across the Kattegat sea.
Øresund Bridge
A stunning view of the bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden during the descent into Kastrup.
Copenhagen Cityscape
Excellent views of the Danish capital's spires and the Amager Bakke 'Copenhill' energy plant.
Sit on the left for the best chance of seeing the Øresund Bridge on arrival. For morning flights, this side avoids direct sunlight, making it ideal for photography of the Norwegian and Swedish coastlines. During the final approach to runway 04R or 22L, the city views are spectacular.

Skagerrak & Kattegat
The vast expanse where the North Sea meets the Baltic, showing distinct water color changes.
Skagen Spit
The sandy tip of Denmark where the two seas collide, often visible mid-flight.
Limfjord
The shallow sound that separates the North Jutlandic Island from the rest of the Jutland peninsula.
Zealand Farmland
The patchworked green fields and coastal bays of northern Sjælland as the plane descends.
The right side is perfect for spotting the northernmost point of Denmark (Skagen). If flying in the late afternoon or evening, you will catch the sunset over the North Sea, though glare can be an issue. Watch for the Great Belt Bridge in the far distance if the route takes a more southerly path.
