Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Copenhagen to Milan. The right side scores higher due to the dramatic Alpine views during approach and the varied terrain of the Po River valley and Lombardy Plain. While Copenhagen's harbor departure is scenic, the majority of the flight crosses flat Danish and German terrain with minimal visual interest. The landing sequence on the right side—Alps, river valley, urban Milan—provides significantly more geographic variety and landmark density than the left side's predominantly flat northern European landscape.

During takeoff from Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Left side for the best views. Copenhagen's harbor and Øresund Strait are visible during northbound departure, with the Swedish coast across the water. The city's waterfront and bridge infrastructure provide urban interest during climb-out. Notable sights include: Øresund Bridge (Storebælt), Copenhagen harbor, Swedish coastline, Amager Island.

When landing at Linate (LIN), sit on the Right side for the best views. The approach to Milan Linate from the north crosses the Lombardy Plain and offers views of the Alps to the north and west, plus the Po River valley. The final descent provides views of Milan's urban sprawl and the Navigli canal system before landing. Notable sights include: Southern Alps (Monte Rosa, Bernina range), Po River valley, Milan urban area, Navigli canal network.

The flight from Kastrup (CPH) to Linate (LIN) takes 2h 15m.

The flight path crosses southern Denmark (flat agricultural land), northern Germany (North German Plain and scattered lakes), and enters the Alpine foothills near the Swiss-Italian border. The Po River valley dominates the final 30 minutes of cruise and descent. No major mountain crossings occur; the Alps are visible to the north/northwest but the aircraft descends into the Lombardy Plain rather than crossing high peaks.
