Copenhagen to Andersen is 4,486 miles (7,219 km), a flight of about 10 hours.
Right side wins for the full journey: strong water and coastal views during Copenhagen departure, and excellent mountain scenery during Anderson descent. Left side offers less distinctive features on both legs.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Atlantic Ocean for roughly 6 hours over open water with no significant landmarks. Departing Copenhagen northwestward, the aircraft passes over the North Sea and then the Atlantic. The route typically crosses the southern tip of Greenland's ice sheet (visible as white terrain if flying far north) or passes south of it depending on weather routing. Over the Atlantic, passengers may see the Mid-Atlantic ridge features in rare clear conditions, but most of the crossing is featureless ocean. As the aircraft approaches North America, the Canadian Maritimes (Nova Scotia, Newfoundland) may be visible on the left side during descent. The final approach into Anderson crosses the Appalachian foothills and Piedmont region of South Carolina.
