While takeoff favors the right for Øresund Strait views, the landing approach over Cedar Breaks and the Markagunt Plateau's dramatic red-rock formations is the flight's visual highlight. Left-side seats capture this better and outweigh the takeoff advantage.

Flight Path

Flight path overview

The route crosses the Atlantic over open ocean (no distinctive landmarks for roughly 5-6 hours), then approaches North America over Newfoundland and Labrador. The Canadian Shield's rocky, lake-dotted terrain becomes visible in the midpoint. Crossing into the continental US, the Great Lakes region (if the route passes near them) shows large water bodies. The Rocky Mountain chain becomes visible during the final 2-3 hours of descent, with the Colorado Plateau's high desert terrain dominating the approach to Cedar City.
