Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Zagreb (ZAG) to Kastrup (CPH)?

The flight crosses the Pannonian Plain northward, then transitions into the Central European lowlands. Notable features include the Danube River valley (visible from altitude around 30 minutes into flight), the Hungarian-Austrian border region, and the transition into the North European Plain. The Carpathian Mountains remain distant to the east. As the aircraft approaches Denmark, the landscape flattens further with scattered lakes and agricultural areas characteristic of Jutland and eastern Denmark becoming visible. No major mountain ranges cross the direct route; the terrain is predominantly low-lying with river valleys and plains dominating the geography.
