Qatar Airways Business Class PVG-DOH-CPH
 
Being a mainly daily reader of this great forum, I promised myself to add a T/R with lots of photos after my recent trip to Far East..

Unfortunately I canīt bring any photos of the outbound-trip from Copenhagen - CPH -routing: CPH-DOH-HKG as my camera did not work proberly - The quality of the photos added are not that great either ... :-(

Returning from Shanghai - Pudong - PVG I ensured to take lots of photos and this is the result... Hope You enjoy it...
