Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a consistent view of the rugged Swedish coastline and the dramatic Oresund Bridge during the final approach into Copenhagen.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Hvaler Islands

A stunning cluster of islands at the mouth of the Oslofjord near the Norwegian-Swedish border.

🇸🇪

Swedish West Coast

The intricate granite archipelago of Bohuslän with its picturesque fishing villages and rocky inlets.

⚓

Gothenburg Harbor

A clear view of Scandinavia's largest port, the Göta Älv river, and the city's urban layout.

🌉

Oresund Bridge

The massive bridge and tunnel system connecting Malmö to Copenhagen, visible during the descent.

🏟️

Malmö Skyline

The 'Turning Torso' skyscraper and the modern waterfront of Sweden's third-largest city.

For the best lighting on the Swedish archipelago, book an afternoon flight when the sun is in the west. Seat yourself mid-cabin or further back to ensure the wing doesn't block the view of the Oresund Bridge during the final bank into CPH. During winter, choose a morning flight to catch the sunrise reflecting off the Kattegat sea.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🕯️

Færder Lighthouse

The iconic lighthouse marking the end of the Oslofjord and the start of the open Skagerrak.

🌊

Kattegat Sea

Expansive views of the maritime corridor between Jutland and the Swedish coast.

🏰

Kronborg Castle

The famous 'Hamlet' castle in Helsingør, visible at the narrowest point between Denmark and Sweden.

🏙️

Copenhagen Cityscape

A panoramic view of the Danish capital's spires, canals, and the Amager Bakke 'ski slope' power plant.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. Keep a sharp eye out about 10-15 minutes before landing to spot Kronborg Castle on the coast of North Zealand. If the wind is from the east, the plane may circle over Copenhagen city, providing a rare aerial tour of the historic center from the right windows.
