Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Copenhagen to Bergen. While takeoff favors the right, the landing view from the left is substantially more dramatic and memorable—the Hardangerfjord and surrounding mountains provide far more visual interest than the relatively flat Danish departure landscape. The landing experience dominates the overall flight impression.

During takeoff from Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Right side for the best views. CPH typically departs runway 22L or 22R (southwest heading). Right-side seats face the Øresund Strait and Swedish coast during initial climb, offering clear water and landmass contrast. Left side shows inland Danish terrain with less dramatic relief. Notable sights include: Øresund Strait (water body separating Denmark and Sweden), Malmö urban area across the strait in Sweden, Amager Island (flat, industrial), Copenhagen city grid receding inland.

When landing at Bergen Flesland (BGO), sit on the Left side for the best views. BGO uses runway 15 or 33 depending on wind. Approach from the south (runway 15) gives left-side views of the Hardangerfjord and surrounding mountains. The fjord system and steep terrain create dramatic relief impossible to see from the right side, which faces inland valleys. Notable sights include: Hardangerfjord (major fjord system with visible branching arms), Flesland peninsula (where airport sits), surrounding mountain ranges with visible snow patches, Byfjorden (smaller fjord closer to airport).

The flight from Kastrup (CPH) to Bergen Flesland (BGO) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Skagerrak (body of water between Denmark and Norway), then enters Norwegian airspace over the Oslofjord region before turning northwest toward Bergen. The North Sea and Norwegian coastline become visible mid-flight, with the transition from relatively flat Danish/Swedish terrain to increasingly mountainous Norwegian topography. The Hardangerfjord system becomes visible approximately 20-30 minutes before landing.
