About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Doha International (DOH) to Kastrup (CPH)?

Over the Persian Gulf you get the Doha coastline and West Bay on departure, and on arrival you get the Øresund Bridge and the Swedish coast. The mid-flight section over Turkey, Bulgaria, and the Baltic is broadly similar on both sides, but the left side also gives slightly better views of the Bosphorus area if the routing passes near Istanbul.
