Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the Szczecin Lagoon and the iconic Øresund Bridge during the approach to Copenhagen.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Poznań Outskirts

Quick views of the Warta river and the northwestern residential districts of Poznań immediately after takeoff.

🌲

Drawsko Lake District

A beautiful patchwork of deep blue glacial lakes and dense pine forests in the Western Pomeranian region.

💧

Szczecin Lagoon

The massive transition zone where the Oder River flows into the Baltic Sea, marked by unique coastal wetlands.

🌉

Øresund Bridge

The world-famous bridge and tunnel system connecting Denmark and Sweden, best seen during the descent into CPH.

🏠

Dragør Village

The charming historic yellow-walled fishing village located just south of the airport runways on Amager island.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is particularly spectacular if the aircraft approaches CPH from the south, as you will fly directly alongside the Øresund Bridge. Look down about 15 minutes before landing for the distinct change in water color near the German-Polish border.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏖️

Polish Coastline

Distal views of the sandy beaches near Świnoujście and the lighthouse at the mouth of the Swina river.

🌊

Baltic Sea Cross

A serene view of the Baltic shipping lanes where you can often spot large cargo vessels and ferries.

⚪

Møn White Cliffs

The dramatic white chalk cliffs of Møn island rising sharply from the turquoise waters of the Baltic.

🏢

Malmö Skyline

Across the water, the Swedish city of Malmö is visible, including the distinctive Turning Torso skyscraper.

🚢

Saltholm Island

A flat, low-lying nature reserve island located in the middle of the Øresund strait near the landing path.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the direct western sun. Keep your eyes peeled for the white chalk cliffs of Stevns Klint or Møn about 10-15 minutes before landing. In clear weather, you can see all the way to the Swedish coast and the city of Malmö.
