Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Edinburgh to Copenhagen. Right-side seats win overall because the takeoff view of the Firth of Forth and Pentland Hills is more dramatic and distinctive than the landing view. The landing approach over the Øresund Strait is pleasant but less visually striking than Edinburgh's water and hills.

During takeoff from Edinburgh (EDI), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the Firth of Forth estuary and the Pentland Hills immediately after departure. Edinburgh typically departs runway 06 or 24; either direction gives good views, but right seats maximize the water and hill contrast during the initial climb. Notable sights include: Firth of Forth (broad estuary directly below), Pentland Hills (southwest, rolling moorland ridges), Forth Road and Rail Bridges (visible as linear features crossing the firth), Edinburgh city center (urban grid visible to the south).

When landing at Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer views of the Øresund Strait and the Swedish coast as you descend into Copenhagen. Copenhagen typically lands runway 04L/04R or 22L/22R; runway 04 approaches from the northwest, positioning left seats to see the strait and Malmö across the water. Notable sights include: Øresund Strait (the narrow water channel between Denmark and Sweden), Malmö city (visible on the Swedish coast across the strait), Amager Island (Copenhagen's airport island, appearing below during final approach), Copenhagen city center (urban area visible to the west across the strait).

The flight from Edinburgh (EDI) to Kastrup (CPH) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the North Sea at roughly 10,000–25,000 feet. You'll pass over the Fife coast and then open water for most of the crossing. The Dogger Bank area (shallow North Sea waters) lies roughly midway but is not visually distinctive from altitude. As you approach Denmark, the Skagerrak strait and Danish coastline become visible. The flight generally tracks southeast from Edinburgh, passing over the North Sea with no major landmarks visible during the middle portion—mostly water and horizon.
