Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Newark to Copenhagen. Left side dominates both ends of the flight — the Manhattan and harbor views on departure are iconic, and the Øresund Bridge and Copenhagen approach on arrival are equally rewarding. Over the Atlantic and southern Greenland, left-side passengers also get slightly better angles on any coastal Greenland ice features if the route tracks that way.

During takeoff from Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. EWR typically departs northeast on runway 22L/29 or uses runway 4R heading northeast, giving left-side passengers a direct view over Lower Manhattan, the Hudson River, and the full New York skyline. The Statue of Liberty sits in the harbor directly to the left during the initial climb-out over the bay. Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline, Statue of Liberty in Upper New York Bay, Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, Hudson River.

When landing at Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Left side for the best views. CPH's primary approach is from the northwest on runway 22L/22R, meaning aircraft track over the Øresund strait and approach from the Swedish side. Left-side passengers get a clear view of the Øresund Bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden, central Copenhagen, and the harbor area as the aircraft descends over the water. Notable sights include: Øresund Bridge, Copenhagen city center and harbor, Amager Fælled wetlands, Malmö waterfront across the strait.

The flight from Newark Liberty International (EWR) to Kastrup (CPH) takes Approximately 8 to 8.5 hours.

The flight typically tracks northeast over Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, then crosses the North Atlantic on a great circle route passing south of Greenland. Passengers may see the rugged coastline of Newfoundland, open North Atlantic ocean with possible iceberg sightings at lower latitudes, the southern tip of Greenland's ice sheet if the route passes close, then the British Isles or southern Norway before descending into Denmark over the Øresund.
