BKK → CPH
Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the definitive choice for this route, offering potential views of the high Himalayas and the iconic Oresund Bridge during the descent into Copenhagen.
The Himalayas
If the flight path trends north, you can see the world's highest peaks, including distant views of the Nepali giants.
Tian Shan Mountains
Breathtaking snow-capped peaks and massive glaciers stretching across Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.
Lake Balkhash
A massive, unique lake in Kazakhstan that is half-freshwater and half-saltwater, visible as a turquoise crescent.
Baltic Archipelago
The stunning scattered islands and rocky coastlines of Sweden and Denmark as the flight nears its destination.
Oresund Bridge
The spectacular engineering marvel connecting Sweden and Denmark, usually clearly visible on the final approach.
The right side is prime for scenery. Most BKK-CPH flights depart in the morning, meaning you will have daylight for the Himalayas and Central Asian ranges. Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the mountains. On the descent into CPH, keep your camera ready for the Oresund Bridge; the plane typically passes right over or alongside it, providing one of the best landing views in Europe.
Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta
The world's largest delta system with its intricate web of emerald waterways and silt-rich islands.
Central Asian Steppes
The vast, arid expanses of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, featuring dramatic desert textures and remote settlements.
Southern Caspian Sea
The deep blue waters of the world's largest inland sea, bordered by the rugged northern coast of Iran.
Polish Lowlands
Meticulously organized agricultural mosaics and rural landscapes typical of Central and Eastern Europe.
The left side is advantageous for avoiding direct sun glare during the middle portion of this westbound daytime flight. It offers excellent views of the vast river systems of South Asia. During the final approach into Copenhagen, if the aircraft lands towards the North, you may catch a glimpse of the city center and the distinctive spire of the Church of Our Saviour.
