MAN → CPH
Which side of the plane to sit from Manchester Airport (Manchester) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is favored for its spectacular views of the Humber Bridge early in the flight and the iconic Øresund Bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden during the final descent into Kastrup.
Humber Estuary
Excellent views of the massive Humber Bridge and the industrial landscape of the East Coast shortly after takeoff.
Offshore Wind Farms
The North Sea features vast geometric patterns of wind turbines, particularly near the Danish coast.
Southern Danish Islands
A beautiful patchwork of islands like Lolland and Falster visible during the transit across the Baltic entrance.
Øresund Bridge
A world-renowned view of the bridge and tunnel complex linking Copenhagen to Malmö, Sweden, during the landing sequence.
The right side is essential for seeing the Øresund Bridge on arrival. For the best views, sit behind the wing and opt for an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the Danish coastline and the bridge architecture perfectly.
The Pennines
Rolling green hills and valleys of Northern England visible shortly after departure from Manchester.
Flamborough Head
The striking white chalk cliffs of the East Yorkshire coast as the aircraft leaves the UK mainland.
Limfjord Region
Depending on the specific flight path, you may see the intricate waterways and islands of Northern Jutland.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. It provides a great perspective of the Yorkshire coastline and the northern parts of the Danish peninsula during the descent.
