Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Copenhagen to Bombay. Takeoff views from the right side (Øresund Strait and Swedish coast) are more distinctive and visually rewarding than the inland Danish landscape. While landing favors the left, the superior takeoff experience and the fact that most of the 7-hour flight path crosses featureless ocean (where seat side matters less) makes right the better overall choice.

During takeoff from Kastrup (CPH), sit on the Right side for the best views. CPH typically departs eastbound (runways 04L/04R or 22L/22R depending on wind). Right-side seats offer views of the Øresund Strait and the Swedish coast as you climb out over the water, plus the urban sprawl of Copenhagen receding beneath. Left side shows only inland Denmark. Notable sights include: Øresund Strait (water body separating Denmark and Sweden), Malmö on the Swedish coast, Copenhagen's harbor and Amager Island, Drogden Lighthouse area.

When landing at Chhatrapati Shivaji International (BOM), sit on the Left side for the best views. BOM approaches from the Arabian Sea (typically runways 09L/09R). Left-side seats provide views of the Mumbai coastline, the harbor, and the city's western districts as you descend. The approach path crosses over Colaba and the southern peninsula before landing, offering distinctive urban and water views. Right side shows only open sea. Notable sights include: Arabian Sea, Mumbai Harbor (with shipping visible), Colaba Peninsula and southern Mumbai skyline, Back Bay area.

The flight from Kastrup (CPH) to Chhatrapati Shivaji International (BOM) takes Approximately 7 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the North Sea, then over Germany and Central Europe (Alps visible on southern route edge), continues southeast over the Balkans, crosses the Mediterranean near Greece, then over Egypt and the Red Sea before descending toward the Arabian Sea. The Alps are the only major mountain range potentially visible mid-flight if the aircraft passes near them, but most of the journey is over relatively flat terrain or open water. The Red Sea crossing offers distinctive deep blue water against desert terrain, though at cruise altitude (35,000+ feet) individual features are small. Night flying covers much of this route depending on departure time.
