About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Evenes (EVE) to Kastrup (CPH)?
Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Evenes to Copenhagen. 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.
