Bergen to Copenhagen flight path: BGO to CPH

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Bergen to Copenhagen. The Bergen departure delivers genuine fjord-and-mountain drama that's hard to match, while the Copenhagen approach, though pleasant, is a gentler urban view over flat terrain; the left side's takeoff scenery gives it the edge for the full flight.

During takeoff from Bergen Flesland (BGO), sit on the Left side for the best views. Departing Flesland, the climb-out passes right over the fjord-carved terrain east of the airport, with forested ridgelines and the rocky flanks of Gullfjellet and Løvstakken rising close to the flight path. The right side mostly looks over open water and low islands (Sotra), which is comparatively flat and featureless. Notable sights include: Fanafjorden, Løvstakken and Gullfjellet mountains, Bergen's outer archipelago, glimpses of Bergen city tucked in the valley.

When landing at Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Right side for the best views. On the typical northerly approach into Kastrup, the aircraft banks right to line up with the southwest-facing runway, putting Copenhagen's harbor, spires, and inner city on that side. The left side mainly faces the open Öresund strait toward Sweden with less to see. Notable sights include: Copenhagen harbor and inner city skyline, Amalienborg/Christiansborg spires, Öresund strait, Amager coastline near the airport.

The flight from Bergen Flesland (BGO) to Kastrup (CPH) takes about 1 hour 20 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 422 miles (679 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.

Cruise crosses the Skagerrak strait between southern Norway and Jutland, with the Norwegian coastline near Kristiansand visible shortly after departure and the Danish Jutland/Zealand coastline coming into view before descent.
