YYZ β CPH
Which side of the plane to sit from Lester B. Pearson International Airport (Toronto) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to some of the most dramatic landscapes on Earth, including the glaciers of Greenland, the volcanic terrain of Iceland, and the best vantage point for the Aurora Borealis on overnight flights.
Toronto Skyline
Excellent views of the CN Tower and Lake Ontario shoreline immediately after takeoff from YYZ.
Canadian Shield
The vast, lake-filled wilderness of Northern Quebec and Labrador as you head toward the Atlantic.
Greenland Ice Sheet
Spectacular views of massive glaciers, deep fjords, and floating icebergs along the southern coast.
Icelandic Highlands
Visuals of the rugged, volcanic landscape and glaciers of southern Iceland depending on the flight track.
Aurora Borealis
The prime side for viewing the Northern Lights during the dark hours of winter transatlantic crossings.
Γresund Bridge
A clear view of the engineering marvel connecting Copenhagen to MalmΓΆ, Sweden, during the final approach.
Book a seat ahead of the wing to ensure unobstructed views of Greenland's ice cap, which usually appears roughly 4.5 hours after departure. For night flights between September and April, keep your window shade open and eyes peeled for the green glow of the Aurora Borealis over the North Atlantic. On the final descent into CPH, the left side typically provides a superior view of the bridge and the wind farms in the Baltic Sea.
Atlantic Sunrise
A stunning perspective of the sun rising over the horizon as the plane approaches European airspace.
North Sea Traffic
Dense clusters of cargo ships and oil rigs visible as you cross from the UK toward Scandinavia.
Jutland Coastline
The sandy beaches and flat, green pastoral lands of western Denmark as you cross the peninsula.
Danish Islands
A bird's eye view of the archipelago of islands that make up the heart of Denmark's geography.
Copenhagen Suburbs
Detailed views of the red-roofed houses and organized urban planning of the Greater Copenhagen area.
The right side is ideal for passengers who enjoy watching the sunrise, which occurs rapidly on this eastbound route. During the daytime, it offers a great overview of the North Sea's industrial activity. If the flight path takes a more southerly route, you might catch glimpses of the Scottish coastline or the northern tip of the Netherlands.
