CPH → DOH
Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is generally superior for this route due to the spectacular views of the Øresund Bridge immediately after takeoff, better lighting conditions as the sun typically sets on the right side of the aircraft during afternoon flights, and clear views of the Persian Gulf coastline during the final approach.

Øresund Bridge
Immediately after departing CPH, witness the architectural marvel connecting Denmark and Sweden over the blue waters.
Baltic Sea Coastline
Scenic views of the German and Polish coastlines as the aircraft transitions toward Central Europe.
Eastern Taurus Mountains
Rugged, snow-capped peaks in eastern Turkey providing dramatic topographic contrast.
Mesopotamian River Systems
Glittering views of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers snaking through the fertile plains of Iraq.
Kuwait City Coastline
A stunning view of Kuwait's urban lights and the Kuwait Towers if the flight path stays near the coast at night.
Persian Gulf
Emerald green and turquoise waters visible as the flight begins its descent into the Qatari peninsula.
Choose the left side for morning or afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare, which is essential for photography. For the best view of the Øresund Bridge, stay alert within the first 3 minutes of takeoff. If the flight arrives after dark, this side offers a spectacular view of the coastal industrial flares and urban sprawl along the Gulf.

Views of the sweeping arcs of the Carpathian range across Romania, often capped with snow in winter.
The Bosphorus
Depending on the specific airway, a distant but distinct view of the strait dividing Europe and Asia near Istanbul.
Anatolian Plateau
The vast, arid landscapes of central Turkey, featuring unique geological formations and salt lakes.
Arabian Desert
The mesmerizing patterns of red and orange sand dunes as you cross into the northern reaches of Saudi Arabia.
West Bay Doha
During specific approach patterns, the right side offers an iconic view of the futuristic Doha skyline and the Corniche.
The right side is excellent for seeing the desert's shifting colors during sunset. However, be prepared for significant heat/glare from the sun for most of the journey. On the final approach into DOH, if the aircraft approaches from the north, sit here to capture the Pearl-Qatar and the high-rise clusters of West Bay.
