Bangkok to Copenhagen flight path: BKK to CPH

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Bangkok to Copenhagen. Although the Bangkok takeoff favors the left, the long cruise phase over South and Central Asia keeps the Himalayan foothills and Hindu Kush ranges within view to the north on the right side, and the Copenhagen arrival sequence also favors the right, giving it the stronger overall balance.

During takeoff from Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), sit on the Left side for the best views. Suvarnabhumi sits east of Bangkok, and the initial turn toward the northwest great-circle track brings the Chao Phraya River delta and Bangkok's dense skyline into view on the left side. The right side mostly shows flat rice paddies and the upper Gulf of Thailand haze with little contrast. Notable sights include: Chao Phraya River, Bangkok skyline (Sathorn/Silom towers), upper Gulf of Thailand, sprawling paddy fields east of the city.

When landing at Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Right side for the best views. On the typical northeast arrival into runway 22 at Kastrup, the aircraft banks in from over the sea and Copenhagen's city center, harbor, and Amager island sit off the right side as the plane descends southwest. The left side mainly faces the open Öresund Strait toward Sweden with less detail until final approach. Notable sights include: Copenhagen city center and harbor, Amager Island, Øresund coastline, distant Malmö skyline across the strait.

The flight from Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) to Kastrup (CPH) takes about 10 hours 50 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 5,367 miles (8,637 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.

Route generally passes over Myanmar's Shan hills, the Bay of Bengal, the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta near Kolkata, then across northern India and Pakistan with distant views of the Himalayan and Hindu Kush ranges to the north, continuing over Central Asia's steppe and the Caspian Sea before crossing Russia and Eastern Europe into Denmark.
