Copenhagen to Newark flight path: CPH to EWR

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Copenhagen to Newark. The great-circle route from Copenhagen to Newark passes north of Scotland and skirts the southern tip of Greenland and the Labrador coast, both visible on the right side during cruise, offering far more dramatic terrain than the open ocean seen on the left. Combined with the Manhattan skyline view on approach, the right side offers the stronger overall experience despite the left side's slightly better departure view.

During takeoff from Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Left side for the best views. Departures from CPH typically use the southbound 22 runways before turning out over the Øresund, giving left-side passengers a clear view of central Copenhagen, the harbor, and the Øresund Bridge toward Malmö. The right side mostly shows open farmland and the Baltic approaches with less definition. Notable sights include: Copenhagen city center, Øresund Bridge, Malmö coastline, Amager island.

When landing at Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Right side for the best views. On the descent into EWR, arrivals from the north commonly track down past the New York City area before turning onto final for the 22 or 4 runways, putting the Manhattan skyline, Hudson River, and Newark Bay on the right side of the aircraft. The left side mainly shows suburban New Jersey with less distinctive scenery. Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline, Hudson River, Newark Bay, Staten Island.

The flight from Kastrup (CPH) to Newark Liberty International (EWR) takes about 8 hours 40 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 3,857 miles (6,207 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.

Southern tip of Greenland (Cape Farewell) with its glaciers and fjords, followed by the rugged coastline of Labrador, Canada, both visible along the northern side of the flight path during cruise.
