Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Copenhagen to Montreal. While takeoff favors the right, the landing view of the St. Lawrence River and Mount Royal is more dramatic and geographically distinctive. The approach into Montreal offers better sustained scenery than the brief Øresund crossing at departure.

During takeoff from Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Right side for the best views. Copenhagen typically departs eastbound (runways 04L/04R or 22L/22R depending on wind). Right-side seats offer views of the Øresund Strait and the Swedish coast as you climb out over the water, plus the distinctive Oresund Bridge spanning toward Malmö. Left side shows only inland Denmark. Notable sights include: Øresund Strait, Oresund Bridge (Öresundsbron), Malmö city on Swedish coast, Amager Island and Copenhagen sprawl receding behind.

When landing at Montreal International Dorval (YUL), sit on the Left side for the best views. Montreal typically lands westbound (runways 06L/06R or 24L/24R). Left-side seats during descent offer views of the St. Lawrence River, the city of Montreal on the island, and Mount Royal's distinctive wooded peak. Right side shows only the flat terrain west of the airport. Notable sights include: St. Lawrence River, Mount Royal (Mont-Royal), Montreal city center and downtown skyline, Île Sainte-Hélène in the river.

The flight from Kastrup (CPH) to Montreal International Dorval (YUL) takes Approximately 7 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the North Atlantic at roughly 55°N latitude. Notable features include the southern tip of Greenland (Kap Farvel) visible on clear days around 4-5 hours into flight, the Labrador coast approaching Newfoundland, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence before descent into Montreal. Most of the mid-Atlantic crossing offers only open ocean and cloud formations.
