Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the English heritage coast upon departure and the iconic Oresund Bridge connecting Denmark to Sweden during the final descent into Copenhagen.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Durham Heritage Coast

Spectacular magnesian limestone cliffs and beaches stretching south from the mouth of the Tyne towards Sunderland.

🦆

Wadden Sea

The intricate patterns of tidal flats and wetlands as the flight enters Danish airspace over the Jutland peninsula.

🌉

Oresund Bridge

The world-famous combined railway and motorway bridge-tunnel stretching across the strait to Sweden.

🏢

Turning Torso

The neo-futurist twisting skyscraper in Malmö, Sweden, clearly visible across the water during the final approach.

Sit on the right for the best chance to see the Oresund Bridge, which is the architectural highlight of the trip. During sunset flights, the light reflecting off the North Sea provides a stunning golden hour backdrop for the English coast.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🏰

Tynemouth Priory

The dramatic ruins of the 11th-century priory and lighthouse standing guard at the mouth of the River Tyne.

🌬️

North Sea Wind Farms

Massive offshore wind arrays like Hornsea, showcasing large-scale renewable energy infrastructure in the open sea.

🌉

Great Belt Fixed Link

The immense suspension bridge connecting the Danish islands of Funen and Zealand over the Storebælt strait.

🏙️

Copenhagen City Center

A bird's-eye view of the historic Indre By district and the harbor during a standard approach from the north.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also prime for viewing the Northumbrian coastline if the plane takes a more northerly departure path towards the sea.
