Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Copenhagen to Madrid. While takeoff offers brief Øresund views, the landing descent provides sustained, dramatic scenery of the Guadarrama Mountains and Madrid's geographic setting. The left side captures the most visually distinctive and geographically significant features of the entire route.

During takeoff from Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side captures the Øresund Strait and the Swedish coast immediately after departure. The strait is narrow, clearly defined, and visually striking from low altitude during climb-out. Notable sights include: Øresund Strait, Swedish coastline (Scania region), Copenhagen city sprawl, Amager Island.

When landing at Barajas (MAD), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side offers the best approach views of the Guadarrama Mountains and the Madrid plateau. As the aircraft descends toward Barajas from the north, the left wing reveals the dramatic Sierra de Guadarrama and the transition from central Spanish highlands to the Madrid basin. Notable sights include: Sierra de Guadarrama (Guadarrama Mountains), Madrid city center and sprawl, Tagus River valley, Central Spanish plateau (Meseta).

The flight from Kastrup (CPH) to Barajas (MAD) takes Approximately 3 hours 45 minutes.

The flight path crosses the North Sea (minimal scenic value at cruise altitude), then passes over the Low Countries and northern France. Notable features include the Rhine-Meuse delta region near the Dutch coast, the flat agricultural plains of Belgium and northern France, and the Loire River valley. As the aircraft approaches Spain, the Pyrenees remain too far north to be visible on this routing. The flight then crosses the Iberian Peninsula's northern plateau before descending toward Madrid.
