Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Copenhagen to Toronto. Left side wins both ends of the flight. Over the Atlantic the views are similar on both sides, but the left seat captures Copenhagen and the Øresund on departure and the full Toronto skyline with Lake Ontario on arrival — the two most visually rewarding moments of the route.

During takeoff from Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Left side for the best views. CPH's primary departure runway 22L sends aircraft southwest over the Øresund strait, and a left-side seat gives you a clear look back at central Copenhagen — the harbour, Amager Strandpark, and the Øresund Bridge stretching toward Malmö. Right side faces inland over flat suburban Amager with little of interest. Notable sights include: Øresund Bridge (Copenhagen-Malmö), Copenhagen Harbour and Nyhavn district, Amager Strandpark coastline, Malmö city waterfront across the strait.

When landing at Lester B Pearson International (YYZ), sit on the Left side for the best views. Pearson's most common arrival from the east uses runway 23 or 24L, bringing aircraft in from the northeast over Lake Simcoe and down across the northern Toronto suburbs. Left side gives you Lake Ontario, the Toronto downtown skyline with the CN Tower, and the lake's broad expanse — the right side faces north over flat agricultural Ontario with nothing comparable. Notable sights include: CN Tower and Toronto downtown skyline, Lake Ontario shoreline, Toronto Islands, Humber Bay and Etobicoke waterfront.

The flight from Kastrup (CPH) to Lester B Pearson International (YYZ) takes Approximately 8 to 8.5 hours.

The route tracks northwest from Denmark across southern Norway and the Norwegian Sea, then over Greenland's southern ice sheet near Narsarsuaq, across the Labrador Sea, over the largely uninhabited boreal forest and lakes of Quebec and Ontario, before descending toward Toronto. Greenland's coastal fjords and ice cap are the most dramatic mid-flight feature, visible on both sides but particularly striking if you are awake during the crossing roughly 3 to 4 hours into the flight.
