Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Copenhagen to Vienna. While takeoff favors the right for Øresund views, the landing experience on the left—with the Danube's dramatic meanders and Vienna's urban geography—provides the more memorable and geographically significant window seat experience for this route.

During takeoff from Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right seats offer views of the Øresund Strait and Swedish coastline during the initial climb. CPH typically departs runways 04L/R or 22L/R; southbound departures on 22 provide the best perspective of the water body separating Denmark and Sweden. Notable sights include: Øresund Strait, Malmö (Sweden) across the water, Amager Island, Copenhagen city center to the northwest.

When landing at Schwechat (VIE), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left seats capture the Danube River and Vienna's urban geography during descent. Approach vectors typically bring aircraft from the north or northeast; left-side views show the Danube's distinctive meanders and the city's layout as you descend toward Schwechat runway 11/29. Notable sights include: Danube River (multiple loops), Vienna city center, Carpathian foothills to the south, Schwechat industrial area.

The flight from Kastrup (CPH) to Schwechat (VIE) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the North German Plain, then transitions over the Czech-Moravian Highlands. Notable features include the Elbe River valley (visible from cruising altitude as a linear depression), Prague's location roughly 100 miles south of track, and the gradual rise toward the Bohemian Massif. The Danube valley becomes visible in the final descent phase as the aircraft approaches Vienna from the north.
