CPH → DXB
Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Dubai International Airport (Dubai)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer spectacular views of the Taurus and Zagros mountain ranges, the Right Side is the preferred choice for its superior views of the iconic Dubai skyline, including the Burj Khalifa, during the standard approach into DXB.

Central European Cities
Bird's-eye views of Berlin or Prague depending on the specific air traffic control routing.
The Bosphorus
The narrow strait in Istanbul that serves as the continental boundary between Europe and Asia.
Anatolian Plateau
The dramatic, arid landscapes and salt lakes of central Turkey.
Mesopotamian Plains
The historic fertile crescent and the winding paths of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
Dubai Skyline
The ultimate prize: views of the Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscrapers of Downtown Dubai during descent.
This is the 'money side' for arrival. Most flights approach DXB from the northwest, putting the Dubai skyline and the coast on your right. For photography, choose a seat ahead of or well behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze obscuring the Burj Khalifa.

Immediately after takeoff, catch the massive bridge and tunnel system connecting Denmark to Sweden.
Carpathian Mountains
Look down over Romania for the rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Southern Carpathians.
The Black Sea
A vast blue expanse as the flight traverses the coastline near Istanbul and northern Turkey.
Mount Ararat
On clear days, the legendary peak is visible near the border of Turkey and Armenia.
Zagros Mountains
Stunning folded rock formations and deep canyons across western Iran.
Sit on the left if you are on an overnight flight to avoid the direct afternoon sun. This side offers better views of the high Caucasus and Iranian plateaus. During the final descent, you will likely see the neighboring emirates of Sharjah and Ajman before touchdown.
