CPHBKK

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic transitions from the Baltic coastline to the vast Central Asian mountain ranges and the distant northern fringes of the Himalayas.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Baltic Archipelago

Clear views of the Danish islands and the Swedish coastline shortly after takeoff from Copenhagen.

🏜️

Kyzylkum Desert

The vast red sand deserts of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan offer striking geological patterns from high altitude.

🏔️

Hindu Kush Mountains

Stunning views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks along the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

🏔️

Himalayan Horizon

On clear days, the majestic northern silhouette of the Himalayan range is visible in the distance to the north.

🌳

Northern Thai Highlands

Lush, green mountainous terrain as the aircraft begins its initial descent into the Thai interior.

Most CPH-BKK flights depart in the late afternoon. The left side is ideal for witnessing the sunrise over the mountains of Central Asia or India. Aim for a seat forward of the wing to capture the best photos of the Hindu Kush without wing obstruction or engine heat haze.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Carpathian Mountains

Beautiful views of the arc-shaped mountain range stretching through Central and Eastern Europe.

🌊

Black Sea Coastline

The transition from the European mainland to the deep blue expanse of the Black Sea.

🕌

Iranian Plateau

High-altitude desert basins and intricate salt flat formations across the Persian landscape.

🌊

Bay of Bengal

A long stretch over the tropical waters before making landfall near the Andaman Sea.

🏙️

Bangkok Metropolis

A panoramic view of the Chao Phraya River and the dense urban sprawl of Bangkok during the final approach.

The right side offers excellent views of the urban landscapes of Eastern Europe and the Iranian plateau. If landing during the day, this side often provides a better view of the Gulf of Thailand and the city's coastal outskirts depending on the active runway direction.
