SXF → CPH
Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the iconic white chalk cliffs of the Danish coast and a legendary view of the Øresund Bridge during the final approach.
Berlin Fernsehturm
The famous TV tower and the dense cityscape of Berlin are often visible during the initial climb.
Isle of Rügen
The largest German island, featuring the famous white chalk cliffs of Jasmund National Park.
Møns Klint
Dramatic 120-meter high white chalk cliffs plunging into the turquoise waters of the Baltic.
Øresund Bridge
The massive engineering marvel connecting Copenhagen to Malmö, Sweden, typically seen on final descent.
Malmö Skyline
Views across the water to Sweden, including the 'Turning Torso' skyscraper in Malmö.
This is the 'money' side for photography. Keep your camera ready about 30 minutes into the flight for the Danish cliffs. For the best lighting, morning flights illuminate the cliffs of Møn perfectly, while the Øresund Bridge is most impressive during the descent.
Mecklenburg Lake District
A vast network of over a thousand lakes visible shortly after leaving the Berlin airspace.
Rostock & Warnemünde
The bustling industrial port and the white lighthouse of the German Baltic coast.
Lolland & Falster
Aerial views of the flat, patchwork agricultural fields and wind farms of southern Denmark.
Copenhagen Center
If landing from the north, you get a direct view of the Tivoli Gardens and the historic inner city.
Sit toward the front of the plane to avoid engine heat distortion when viewing the German coastline. This side is particularly scenic during sunset flights as the light reflects off the Baltic Sea and the many inland lakes.
