Flight Path
Palma De Mallorca to Copenhagen is 1,200 miles (1,931 km), a flight of about 2 hours 55 minutes.
The flight path crosses the Mediterranean north of the Balearic Islands, then over southern France (Provence region visible if at lower altitude), the Rhône Valley, and into central Europe. The Alps form a distant backdrop to the east but are typically not prominent from this northern routing. The flight crosses into German and Polish airspace before descending into Denmark, passing over the North German Plain—relatively flat terrain with scattered lakes and forests.
