PLQ → CPH
Which side of the plane to sit from Palanga International Airport (Palanga) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer coastal views, the right side typically provides a superior panoramic view of the Copenhagen skyline, the Øresund bridge, and the unique Middelgrunden wind farm during the final descent into Kastrup.
Search flights from PLQ to CPH
Palanga Coastline
A great view of the Lithuanian coastline and the Palanga pier as the aircraft climbs and turns westward over the Baltic.
Northern Bornholm
Observe the rocky cliffs of Hammeren and the medieval fortress ruins of Hammershus on the northern tip of Bornholm island.
Middelgrunden Wind Farm
As you descend into CPH, see the iconic curved line of 20 wind turbines standing in the waters just outside the Copenhagen harbor.
Copenhagen Skyline
Get a perfect view of the city's landmarks including the Amager Bakke waste-to-energy plant (with its ski slope roof) and the historic canals.
Kastrup Airport Perimeter
A close-up view of the airport's layout and the coastal defense structures along the island of Amager.
The right side is unbeatable for the approach into Copenhagen, especially when landing on Runway 22L or 22R. For the best photography, sit in front of the wing to capture the city skyline and the wind farm without engine heat distortion. In the evening, this side offers beautiful sunset views over the North Sea in the distance.

Curonian Spit
Just after takeoff from Palanga, looking south reveals the thin, 98-km long sand dune spit that separates the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea.
Bornholm Island (South)
Mid-flight, you can spot the southern coast of this Danish island, including the white sandy beaches of Dueodde and the town of Rønne.
Øresund Bridge
During the approach, look for the massive bridge-tunnel system connecting Malmö and Copenhagen emerging from the sea.
Malmö Skyline
On the descent, the Swedish city of Malmö and the 'Turning Torso' skyscraper are clearly visible across the strait.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is also the best spot for viewing the unique geography of the Lithuanian coast immediately after rotation. Keep an eye out for the artificial island of Peberholm near the bridge.
