Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Athens to Copenhagen. While takeoff favors left for the dramatic Saronic Gulf views, the landing approach on right seats provides sustained interest over the Øresund Strait and Swedish-Danish border geography. Right also captures the approach into Copenhagen's harbor, making it the better overall choice for this route.

During takeoff from Athinai (HEW), sit on the Left side for the best views. Athens typically departs runway 03L/03R (northbound). Left seats face west toward the Saronic Gulf and Peloponnese, offering immediate views of the Athenian coastline and island chains. Right seats look inland toward the Hymettus and Penteli mountain ranges but with less dramatic water features. Notable sights include: Saronic Gulf, Aegina Island, Salamis Island, Hymettus Mountain ridge.

When landing at Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Right side for the best views. Copenhagen typically lands runway 04L/04R or 22L/22R depending on wind. For northbound approaches (04L/04R), right seats face east toward the Øresund Strait and Swedish coast. For southbound approaches (22L/22R), right seats face west toward central Zealand and the city center. Either way, right provides better views of the strait's geography and the approach corridor. Notable sights include: Øresund Strait, Malmö waterfront (Sweden), Amager Island, Copenhagen harbor and city center.

The flight from Athinai (HEW) to Kastrup (CPH) takes Approximately 3 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Balkans and Central Europe. Notable features include the Pindus Mountains (Greece-Albania border), the Dinaric Alps (Albania-Serbia), the Carpathian Mountains (Romania), and the Pannonian Plain (Hungary). Over the Adriatic, the Apennines form a spine down Italy's eastern flank. Central European plains dominate the approach to Denmark, with the Jutland Peninsula visible 30-40 minutes before landing.
