Which side of the plane to sit from Henri Coandă International Airport (Bucharest) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer views of the Carpathian Mountains, the Right Side is the clear winner for the approach into Copenhagen, offering a spectacular view of the Øresund Bridge and the Swedish coastline.
Eastern Carpathian Curve
A stunning look at the 'S' curve of the Carpathian mountain range where the peaks meet the Moldavian hills.
Baltic Sea Traffic
Aerial views of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, with numerous cargo vessels and tankers visible below.
Øresund Bridge
The absolute highlight; see the massive bridge transition into an underwater tunnel at the artificial island of Peberholm.
Malmö & Turning Torso
Clear views of Sweden's third-largest city and its iconic twisting skyscraper during the base leg of the approach.
Middelgrunden Wind Farm
The curved array of offshore wind turbines standing in the waters just outside Copenhagen harbor.
The right side is essential for the 'money shot' of the Øresund Bridge. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the bridge and the Danish coastline in one frame. Morning flights offer the best lighting for this side without the sun being directly in your eyes.
Southern Carpathians
Dramatic views of the Făgăraș Mountains and Moldoveanu Peak shortly after takeoff from Bucharest.
Transylvanian Plateau
The rolling hills of central Romania, dotted with historic Saxon fortified churches and medieval villages.
Berlin Metropolitan Area
On clear days, the western flight path provides distant views of the sprawling German capital and its surrounding lakes.
Stevns Klint
A glimpse of the white chalk cliffs on the Danish island of Zealand as the plane begins its final descent.
The left side provides the best perspective of the rugged interior of the Carpathian arc. During late afternoon flights, be prepared for significant sun glare on this side; keep your window shade partially closed until the descent over Denmark.
