Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Vagar to Copenhagen. Right-side seats win overall because the dramatic Faroese departure scenery (cliffs, archipelago, volcanic terrain) is more visually distinctive than the approach to Copenhagen. The takeoff experience from FAE is geographically unique; the landing at CPH, while interesting, is more typical European urban/industrial landscape.

During takeoff from Vagar (FAE), sit on the Right side for the best views. FAE typically departs runway 11 (northeast heading). Right-side seats capture the dramatic cliffs and peaks of Vagar island as you climb out, plus the surrounding Faroese archipelago spreading across the North Atlantic. Notable sights include: Mykines island (westernmost point of Faroes), Streymoy island to the north, Vágar's eastern sea cliffs, scattered smaller islands of the Faroese chain.

When landing at Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Left side for the best views. CPH uses runways 04L/04R or 22L/22R depending on wind. On approach from the northwest (typical for FAE arrivals), left-side seats offer views of the Danish coastline, Øresund Strait separating Denmark and Sweden, and the urban sprawl of Copenhagen and Malmö. Notable sights include: Øresund Bridge (distinctive cable-stayed structure connecting Denmark-Sweden), Copenhagen city center and harbor districts, Malmö waterfront across the strait, Swedish coastline of Scania.

The flight from Vagar (FAE) to Kastrup (CPH) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the North Sea at roughly 58°N latitude. At cruise altitude (around 25,000 feet), the Shetland Islands may be visible to the east on clear days as a dark cluster on the horizon. The route passes over open ocean with no significant landmarks visible at altitude until approaching Danish airspace. The Norwegian coast remains too far east to be visible. Descent begins around 100 nautical miles northwest of Copenhagen, with the Danish coast becoming visible around 50 miles out.
