Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Copenhagen to Edinburgh. Left-side seats capture the Øresund Strait on departure (distinctive water feature) and the Firth of Forth plus Pentland Hills on arrival. Right side offers less compelling geography on both legs.

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 toward the Øresund Strait and Swedish coast during initial climb, offering water and landmass contrast. Left side shows inland Denmark—flatter and less visually distinctive. Notable sights include: Øresund Strait (the narrow water channel between Denmark and Sweden), Malmö visible across the strait on the Swedish side, Copenhagen city sprawl receding beneath, Amager Island (where the airport sits).

When landing at Edinburgh (EDI), sit on the Left side for the best views. EDI typically lands runway 06 (northeast heading) or 24 (southwest heading). For runway 06 approaches (more common), left-side seats face the Firth of Forth and the Scottish coastline. For runway 24, left seats show the Pentland Hills and southern approach. Either way, left offers better geography than right. Notable sights include: Firth of Forth (major estuary), Pentland Hills (low mountain range south of Edinburgh), Edinburgh city center and castle on the ridge, the Forth Road Bridge or Forth Rail Bridge visible on approach.

The flight from Kastrup (CPH) to Edinburgh (EDI) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the North Sea at roughly 15,000–25,000 feet. The Skagerrak (water between Denmark and Norway) lies to the north of the route. The flight path passes over open water for most of the journey, with the east coast of England (Northumberland/Fife coast) becoming visible in the final 30 minutes. No major mountain ranges are visible at cruise altitude, but the Scottish coastline and Firth of Forth estuary become prominent on descent into Edinburgh.
