Evenes to Copenhagen is 898 miles (1,446 km), a flight of about 2 hours 15 minutes.
While takeoff offers dramatic fjord scenery on the right, the landing approach on the left provides the more geographically significant view—the Øresund Strait is a major geographic boundary and one of Europe's most important maritime passages. The contrast between Swedish and Danish coasts is visually and geographically compelling.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Norwegian coast near Trondheim region (around 1 hour into flight), then crosses the Skagerrak Strait between Norway and Denmark. The Skagerrak crossing at cruise altitude shows the transition from Norwegian fjord terrain to the flatter Scandinavian shield landscape. Swedish east coast and Stockholm archipelago region pass to the east (not directly on route). The descent begins over southern Sweden, with the flat Danish landscape becoming visible 30 minutes before landing.
