Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Copenhagen to Stockholm. While takeoff on the right offers the Øresund Strait views, the landing approach on the left provides more sustained and dramatic scenery over Mälaren Lake and the Stockholm archipelago—a larger and more visually distinctive water system. The left side captures the geographic transition from open water to forested terrain, making it the stronger choice for the full journey.

During takeoff from Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Øresund Strait and the Swedish coast during northbound climb. Kastrup typically departs runway 04L/R or 22L/R depending on wind; northbound departures (04 heading) provide the best water and coastal views on the right side as you climb over the strait toward Sweden. Notable sights include: Øresund Strait (the narrow waterway between Denmark and Sweden), Malmö city and harbor on the Swedish coast, Amager Island (Copenhagen's southern district), Copenhagen Airport's runway complex.

When landing at Skavsta (NYO), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats capture the approach over Mälaren Lake and Stockholm's archipelago. Skavsta typically receives traffic on runway 03 or 21; southwestbound approaches (runway 03) descend over the lake system and forested terrain on the left side, offering views of water, islands, and the transition from open water to the airport's rural setting. Notable sights include: Mälaren Lake (Sweden's third-largest lake, visible as an extensive water body with irregular shoreline), Stockholm archipelago islands (smaller skerries and wooded islets), Sörmland forests (dense coniferous woodland surrounding the airport), Skavsta's runway and taxiway infrastructure.

The flight from Kastrup (CPH) to Skavsta (NYO) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Scania region of southern Sweden (farmland and forests), then transitions into the Stockholm archipelago zone with numerous lakes and waterways. Vättern Lake (Sweden's second-largest) may be visible to the east on clear days, though it typically lies slightly off the direct route. The terrain gradually transitions from flat coastal plains to more undulating forested landscape with increasing water features as you approach Stockholm.
