Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Copenhagen to Lisbon. While left seats win at takeoff, right seats dominate the landing approach with superior views of Lisbon's dramatic geography. The landing experience—descending over the Tagus estuary and city—outweighs the brief takeoff advantage.

During takeoff from Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side offers views of the Øresund Strait and Swedish coastline immediately after departure. The aircraft climbs southwestward, so the left wing seats face toward the water and Malmö region, while right seats look inland over flat Danish terrain. Notable sights include: Øresund Strait, Malmö city (Sweden), Copenhagen harbor and Amager Island, Oresund Bridge.

When landing at Lisboa (LIS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right seats provide the best views during descent into Lisbon. The approach typically comes from the northeast, and right-side seats face the Tagus River estuary, the city of Lisbon sprawling across hills on the north bank, and the Atlantic coastline. Left seats would see inland terrain and the Sintra mountains but miss the dramatic river and city approach. Notable sights include: Tagus River estuary, Lisbon city center and hills, Cristo Rei monument, Atlantic coastline.

The flight from Kastrup (CPH) to Lisboa (LIS) takes 3h 15m.

The flight path crosses the North Sea, then proceeds southwest over the English Channel and Bay of Biscay. Notable features include the Frisian Islands (off the Dutch/German coast), the English Channel's shipping lanes, the Iberian Peninsula's interior plateau, and the Sierra da Estrela mountains in central Portugal. Most of the route crosses water or sparsely populated terrain; the Iberian interior becomes visible during descent into Portugal.
