SJJ β†’ CPH

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the mid-flight crossing of the Danube over Budapest and a spectacular view of the Oresund Bridge during the descent into Copenhagen.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏞️

Drina River Canyons

Deep emerald river winding through steep mountain gorges along the Bosnian-Serbian border.

πŸ›οΈ

Budapest & Danube

A stunning aerial view of the Hungarian Parliament and the bridges of the Danube River.

πŸ”οΈ

High Tatras

The snow-capped peaks of the Carpathian Mountains visible on the horizon to the east.

🏰

Prague Panorama

The 'City of a Hundred Spires' is often visible as the flight crosses the Czech Republic.

πŸŒ‰

Oresund Bridge

The iconic bridge-tunnel link between Sweden and Denmark during the final approach to CPH.

🚒

Oresund Strait

Busy shipping lanes and the Swedish city of MalmΓΆ across the water from Copenhagen.

The right side is the 'money' side for the landing phase at Kastrup. On a standard approach to Runway 22L, you will fly directly alongside the Oresund Bridge. For the best photography of Budapest, ensure you are seated behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze.

Left Side Highlights
8.0
⛰️

Dinaric Alps

Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys immediately after takeoff from Sarajevo.

πŸ’§

Lake Balaton

Central Europe's largest lake, easily recognizable by its elongated shape and pale green water.

πŸ™οΈ

Berlin View

On clear days, the vast urban sprawl of the German capital is visible to the west.

🌊

Wismar Bay

The intricate coastline of Northern Germany meeting the Baltic Sea.

πŸŒ‰

Great Belt Bridge

Visible in the distance as you cross the Danish islands toward Zealand.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also preferable if the flight path tracks further west over the Alps' foothills. Watch for the rugged Bosnian terrain in the first 15 minutes.
