Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Copenhagen to Vagar. While takeoff favors the left for Øresund views, the landing approach to Vagar's dramatic basalt cliffs and fjord system on the right is the more distinctive and memorable segment of this route. The right side captures the geological highlight of the journey.

During takeoff from Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Left side for the best views. CPH typically departs runways 04L/R or 22L/R. A left window seat on a northbound departure (runway 04) captures the Øresund Strait and Swedish coast immediately after climb-out, with Copenhagen's urban sprawl visible below. On southbound departures (runway 22), left seats show the broader Danish coastline and inland lakes. Notable sights include: Øresund Strait (the narrow waterway between Denmark and Sweden), Copenhagen urban area with Amager Island, Swedish coast near Malmö, Furesø lake inland to the west.

When landing at Vagar (FAE), sit on the Right side for the best views. Approaching FAE typically uses runway 10 or 28. On descent from the southeast (runway 10 approach), right window seats provide the dramatic view of Vagar's steep basalt cliffs and the approach over Vágsfjørður. The rugged terrain and fjord system are far more visually distinctive on the right side during this vector. Notable sights include: Vágsfjørður (the main fjord), Vagar's basalt cliffs and moorland plateau, Streymoy Island across the fjord, smaller islands and skerries in the approach corridor.

The flight from Kastrup (CPH) to Vagar (FAE) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the North Sea northwest from Denmark. Notable features include the Skagerrak strait (visible on initial climb), then open North Sea with occasional oil platform clusters visible around 15,000+ feet, the Norwegian coast near Stavanger region (far left on northbound track), and finally the approach to the Faroe Islands with their characteristic steep volcanic topography emerging from the Atlantic.
