Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides the most iconic views of the Baltic islands, the Swedish southern coastline, and the architectural marvel of the Øresund Bridge upon descent into Copenhagen.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Gulf of Riga

Expansive views of the Latvian coast and the deep blue waters of the Gulf of Riga during the mid-flight segment.

🇸🇪

Gotland & Öland

Spectacular sightings of Sweden's two largest islands, featuring limestone cliffs and historical coastal settlements.

🗼

Turning Torso

The iconic twisted skyscraper in Malmö, Sweden, which stands out prominently during the descent phase.

🌉

Øresund Bridge

A perfect panoramic view of the 8km bridge connecting Sweden to Denmark, often appearing directly below or to the side.

✈️

CPH Approach

Views of the Saltholm island and the bustling maritime traffic entering the Baltic Sea via the narrow straits.

The right side is essential for the iconic 'bridge view' when landing on Runway 22L or 04R. In the morning, you will have the sun behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Swedish islands. Keep your camera ready as soon as the descent through 10,000 feet begins over the Swedish coast.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Moscow Outskirts

Bird's eye view of the dense urban planning and vast forested areas surrounding the Khimki district after takeoff.

🏖️

Curonian Spit

The dramatic, narrow 98km-long sand-dune spit that separates the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea coast.

🏝️

Bornholm Island

The rugged Danish island in the Baltic Sea, visible as a distinct granite landmass before the final approach.

🏗️

Øresund Bridge

View of the southern side of the bridge and the tunnel entrance on the artificial island of Peberholm.

Sit on the left for better views of the Curonian Spit if the flight path tracks slightly south. During winter, look for frozen coastal patterns near the Baltic states. For sunset flights, this side will catch the direct golden hour light over Central Europe.
