Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Thessaloniki to Copenhagen. The right side (Copenhagen approach) scores higher due to the dramatic Øresund Strait crossing with Sweden visible, Copenhagen's extensive harbor and waterfront scenery, and the distinctive urban layout of Denmark's capital. While Thessaloniki's takeoff offers coastal interest, the bulk of the flight crosses monotonous central European plains and forests with minimal landmark density. Copenhagen's landing sequence provides concentrated scenic value that outweighs the modest advantage of Thessaloniki's departure.

During takeoff from Makedonia (SKG), sit on the Left side for the best views. Thessaloniki's harbor and Thermaic Gulf provide immediate coastal scenery during climb-out. The city sprawls across a hillside with Mount Olympus visible inland on clear days, offering more visual interest than the flat northern approach. Notable sights include: Thessaloniki harbor and waterfront, Thermaic Gulf coastline, Mount Olympus (distant, inland), Chalkidiki peninsula to the east.

When landing at Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Right side for the best views. Copenhagen's approach over the Øresund Strait and Danish coastline offers superior scenery. The descent crosses the strait with Sweden visible on the left, then reveals Copenhagen's harbor, Amager Island, and the city's distinctive urban layout before landing at Kastrup. Notable sights include: Øresund Strait with Swedish coast visible, Copenhagen harbor and waterfront, Amager Island, Kastrup airport and surrounding flat Danish landscape.

The flight from Makedonia (SKG) to Kastrup (CPH) takes 2h 45m.

The flight path crosses the Balkans (Serbian and Hungarian plains with scattered low mountains), then transitions into the Pannonian Plain. Notable features include the Danube River valley (visible near Budapest), the flat Hungarian puszta, and the transition into the North European Plain. No dramatic mountain ranges or coastlines dominate the cruise phase; the route is primarily over agricultural land, forests, and scattered urban centers. The Alps are south of this northbound routing and not visible.
