Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Duesseldorf to Copenhagen. Right seats win overall because the takeoff view of the Rhine and Ruhr Valley is more visually distinctive and geographically informative than the landing approach. While the Øresund Strait landing is scenic, the Rhine's dramatic geography during departure provides superior window-seat value for this route.

During takeoff from Dusseldorf (DUS), sit on the Right side for the best views. DUS typically departs runways 05L/R or 23L/R. Right seats offer views of the Rhine River valley and the industrial Ruhr region spreading eastward. The river's distinctive meanders are clearly visible during climb-out, and you'll see the patchwork of cities and manufacturing areas that define this region. Notable sights include: Rhine River with its characteristic loops and bends, Ruhr Valley industrial zone, Cologne skyline to the south (recognizable cathedral spires), Bergisches Land hills to the east.

When landing at Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Left side for the best views. Approaching CPH typically uses runways 04L/R or 22L/R. Left seats provide excellent views of the Øresund Strait and the Swedish coast across the water. You'll see the distinctive bridge-tunnel structure of the Øresund Link and the transition from open water to Copenhagen's urban landscape, making the approach visually compelling. Notable sights include: Øresund Strait with Malmö, Sweden visible on the far shore, Øresund Bridge-tunnel structure, Copenhagen's harbor and waterfront districts, Amager Island and the airport's position on the coast.

The flight from Dusseldorf (DUS) to Kastrup (CPH) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the North German Plain heading northeast. Notable features include the Lippe River valley, the Münsterland region's agricultural landscape, and the transition into the flat Danish peninsula. The Weser River may be visible to the east depending on exact routing. As you approach Denmark, the landscape becomes increasingly flat and open with scattered lakes and forests characteristic of Jutland.
