Cedar City to Copenhagen is 5,244 miles (8,440 km), a flight of about 11 hours.
While the takeoff offers dramatic red-rock scenery, the landing approach into Copenhagen provides more sustained visual interest across a longer segment—the Øresund Strait, bridge, and coastal city views are more distinctive than the plateau climb-out. Left seats dominate the approach phase.
Flight Path
This transatlantic routing typically departs Cedar City heading northeast, crosses the Rocky Mountains (Wasatch Range visible early), then follows a great-circle path over the northern Great Plains, Canada, Greenland's ice sheet (if visible on clear days), Iceland's volcanic terrain, and the North Atlantic. The flight crosses the Arctic Circle and passes north of the UK before descending into Scandinavia. Most of the mid-flight hours occur over open ocean and remote Arctic regions with limited ground features.
