MOLCPH

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

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most dramatic views of the jagged Sunnmøre Alps and the high-altitude peaks of Jotunheimen National Park before crossing into the Swedish archipelago and the Øresund region.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Sunnmøre Alps

Dramatic, snow-capped peaks rising sharply from the fjords immediately after departure from Molde.

❄️

Jotunheimen National Park

Views of Norway's highest mountains, including Galdhøpiggen, during the initial cruise phase.

🏘️

Swedish Bohuslän Coast

The intricate rocky archipelago of Western Sweden visible as the plane begins its descent.

🌉

Øresund Bridge

The massive bridge connecting Malmö and Copenhagen, best seen during the final approach to runway 22L.

Early morning flights provide stunning alpine glows on the mountains to the left. Ensure you look out within the first 15 minutes of takeoff for the most dramatic fjord landscapes. This side is also superior for spotting the bridge into Denmark on standard southern approaches.

Right Side Highlights
8.3
🌊

The Atlantic Road

Distant views of the iconic coastal road and the rugged Norwegian coastline to the west.

🧊

Folgefonna Glacier

One of Norway's largest glaciers can often be spotted in the distance over the Hardanger region.

🇩🇰

North Jutland Coast

The transition from the deep blue Skagerrak sea to the sandy beaches of Northern Denmark.

🏢

Copenhagen Cityscape

Panoramic views of the Danish capital's red roofs, canals, and modern harbor architecture on landing.

The right side is the 'sunset side' for evening flights, offering beautiful reflections over the North Sea. It typically offers a better view of Copenhagen's city center and the Amager Bakke 'ski slope' building if the plane circles for a northern landing approach.
