About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Kastrup (CPH) to Berlin Brandenburg (BER)?

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Copenhagen to Berlin. Right-side seats capture the superior takeoff experience with the Øresund Strait and bridge, which are more visually distinctive than the landing approach. The landing views are comparable on both sides, but the takeoff advantage outweighs the landing preference for left seats.

What can I see during takeoff from Kastrup in Copenhagen?

During takeoff from Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Right side for the best views. CPH typically departs eastbound on runways 04L/04R. Right-side seats face north across the Øresund Strait toward Sweden, offering clear views of the water, Malmö's coastline, and the Öresund Bridge spanning the strait. Left seats face inland toward Copenhagen's urban sprawl with less distinctive geography. Notable sights include: Øresund Strait (water body immediately north), Öresund Bridge (distinctive cable-stayed structure crossing the strait), Malmö waterfront (Swedish coast on far side), Copenhagen airport runways and taxiways (receding below).

What can I see when landing at Berlin Brandenburg in Berlin?

When landing at Berlin Brandenburg (BER), sit on the Left side for the best views. BER typically lands on runways 07L/07R or 25L/25R depending on wind. For eastbound approaches (07L/07R), left-side seats face south toward the Spree River and Berlin's city center. The Spree's distinctive meanders and the Tiergarten park are clearly visible during descent. Westbound approaches (25L/25R) favor right seats, but eastbound is more common for this route. Notable sights include: Spree River (meandering waterway with visible bends), Tiergarten (large rectangular green space in central Berlin), Berlin-Schönefeld industrial area (south of airport), Brandenburg flat terrain (surrounding landscape).

What does the Copenhagen to Berlin flight path pass over?

The flight path crosses the Kattegat Sea (body of water between Denmark and Sweden), then passes over southern Sweden's Scania region before crossing into Germany. The route then crosses the North German Plain with its characteristic flat terrain, scattered lakes, and agricultural patchwork. No major mountain ranges are visible on this route. The Mecklenburg Lake District (Mecklenburgische Seenplatte) with its numerous glacial lakes may be visible to the north of the direct flight path. The landscape transitions from coastal regions to increasingly flat continental terrain as the flight progresses southward toward Berlin.
