ORY → CPH
Which side of the plane to sit from Paris-Orly Airport (Paris) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Danish bridges and the transition from the lowlands of Western Europe to the Baltic islands.
Parisian Periphery
Visuals of the Seine's southern loops and the dense urban sprawl of the Val-de-Marne department shortly after takeoff.
Flemish Heartland
Geometric patterns of Belgian farmland interspersed with the urban centers of Ghent and the massive port of Antwerp.
Dutch Delta
View of the intricate polders and water management systems characteristic of the Southern Netherlands.
Great Belt Bridge
A spectacular view of the Storebælt bridge, one of the world's longest suspension spans, connecting the islands of Funen and Zealand.
Copenhagen Skyline
Glimpses of the city's modern architecture, harbor, and the offshore wind farms of the Øresund during the final approach.
Book an 'A' seat for the best views. For afternoon flights, this side is preferred to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing to capture the Storebælt Bridge crossing.
Champagne Region
Vast vineyards and rolling plains of the Grand Est region visible as the plane reaches cruising altitude.
German Industry
Distant views of the Ruhr valley's industrial complexes and the dense urban cluster of Northwest Germany.
Port of Hamburg
The sprawling Elbe River and the cranes of one of Europe's largest maritime hubs are often visible to the North.
Møn's White Cliffs
The striking white chalk cliffs of Møn and Stevns Klint along the Baltic coast during the descent phase.
Øresund Bridge
The iconic bridge-tunnel system connecting Denmark to Sweden is frequently visible during the final turn into Kastrup.
Select an 'F' seat for potential views of the Øresund Bridge during final descent. If the flight path takes a more southerly route over Germany, this side provides better views of the Baltic coastline. Ideal for morning flights to have the sun behind you.
