Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Copenhagen to Manchester. Right-side seats win overall because the departure views of the Øresund Strait and Swedish coast are more visually distinctive and geographically dramatic than the landing approach. While left-side landing views are good, the takeoff scenery is more memorable.

During takeoff from Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Øresund Strait and Swedish coastline immediately after departure. The aircraft climbs westbound out of Copenhagen, so right-side passengers see the water crossing and Malmö region clearly before heading toward the North Sea. Notable sights include: Øresund Strait, Malmö city and harbor, Swedish coastline near Skåne, Amager Island (Copenhagen's eastern district).

When landing at Manchester (MAN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent into Manchester. The aircraft approaches from the east over the Pennine foothills and Peak District, so left-side passengers see the moorland, valleys, and the industrial landscape of Greater Manchester clearly before touchdown. Notable sights include: Peak District moorland and hills, Pennine ridge line, Manchester conurbation sprawl, River Mersey valley.

The flight from Kastrup (CPH) to Manchester (MAN) takes Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes.

The flight crosses the North Sea at roughly 15,000-25,000 feet. The Skagerrak Strait (between Denmark and Norway) lies to the north of the flight path. The aircraft passes over the Dogger Bank area of the North Sea—a shallow sandbank that creates visible water color variations in clear conditions. The east coast of England becomes visible around 30 minutes before landing, with the Lincolnshire and Yorkshire coastlines showing as a thin line where land meets sea. The Humber Estuary and Pennine hills appear on the horizon approximately 45 minutes before touchdown.
