Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Copenhagen to Atlanta. The left side wins overall due to the spectacular Øresund Bridge and Copenhagen harbor departure view, which is one of the more photogenic airport exits in Europe. The mid-flight Atlantic crossing and Greenland ice sheet views are roughly equal on both sides, and the Atlanta arrival advantage on the right is real but less dramatic than the Copenhagen departure.

During takeoff from Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Left side for the best views. Kastrup typically departs westward on runway 22L/22R, then turns northwest toward the North Atlantic. A left seat gives you a clear view south over the Øresund strait and the Øresund Bridge connecting Denmark to Sweden, plus the Copenhagen city center and harbor. Right side faces inland Sweden with less visual interest. Notable sights include: Øresund Bridge (Denmark-Sweden), Copenhagen city center and harbor, Amager Fælled wetlands, Malmö waterfront across the strait.

When landing at The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Hartsfield-Jackson typically uses south-flow arrivals on runways 26L/26R or north-flow on 08R/08L depending on winds. On the most common approach from the northeast, a right-side seat gives views over downtown Atlanta's skyline as the aircraft descends through 5,000-8,000 feet on final. Left side faces the southern suburbs with little of note. Notable sights include: Downtown Atlanta skyline, Stone Mountain (visible to the northeast on approach), Lake Lanier reservoir to the north, Chattahoochee River corridor.

The flight from Kastrup (CPH) to The William B Hartsfield Atlanta International (ATL) takes Approximately 9 to 10 hours.

The route tracks northwest over the North Sea, then across Scotland or northern England, then out over the North Atlantic. Depending on the jet stream routing, the flight often passes south of Greenland's ice sheet or over its southern tip near Narsarsuaq, where the Greenland ice cap and fjords are visible. The route then crosses Labrador and Quebec, where the vast boreal forest and Canadian Shield lakes dominate. Descending into the US, the Appalachian Mountains appear as parallel ridgelines running northeast-southwest across Virginia and the Carolinas before the piedmont flattens toward Atlanta.
