Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the rugged Carpathian Mountains and a breathtaking final approach over the Baltic Sea and the Oresund Bridge.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Black Sea Coast

Brief but beautiful views of the northern Turkish coastline as the aircraft turns toward the northwest.

🏔️

Carpathian Mountains

Dramatic views of the snowy peaks of the Transylvanian Alps in Romania during the mid-flight phase.

🌲

Polish Forests

Deep green canopy views of the vast woodlands in southern and western Poland.

🚢

Baltic Sea

The transition from the European mainland into the deep blue of the Baltic Sea, often featuring cargo ship traffic.

🌉

Oresund Bridge

An iconic view of the engineering marvel connecting Denmark to Sweden during the final descent into CPH.

The right side is essential for the Copenhagen arrival. During the final 10-15 minutes of the flight, you will likely see the Saltholm island and the impressive Oresund Bridge. Winter flights offer particularly clear views of the snow-capped Carpathians.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Istanbul Urban Sprawl

Aerial views of the Anatolian side of Istanbul and the Marmara Sea coast immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Balkan Mountains

Rugged terrain of the Stara Planina range stretching across central Bulgaria.

💧

Danube River

Watch the winding path of Europe's second-longest river as it marks international borders.

🏰

Central European Cities

Distant views of historical city centers like Bratislava or Brno depending on the specific flight corridor.

Sit on the left for morning flights to minimize sun glare. Keep your eyes peeled shortly after takeoff to see the density of the Bosporus region before the plane heads inland towards Bulgaria.
