Copenhagen to Gothenborg is 142 miles (229 km), a flight of about 1 hour 15 minutes.
Right-side seats capture the most distinctive visual sequence: the Øresund Strait crossing during departure (a major geographic boundary) and the Göta River valley during approach. The Øresund view alone makes right seats superior for this short, water-crossing route.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Øresund Strait immediately after departure, then tracks northeast over the Scanian plains (southern Sweden's flat agricultural region). The route passes east of Helsingborg and over the Halland region's low, forested terrain before descending toward Gothenburg. Notable water features include the Øresund Strait at departure and Lake Vänern visible distantly to the east during cruise. The entire route stays over relatively low terrain with no significant mountain ranges visible.
