Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more iconic sequence of landmarks including the Suez Canal, the Sinai Peninsula, and the dramatic approach over the Doha skyline and The Pearl-Qatar.
Balearic Islands
Panoramic views of Mallorca and Menorca surrounded by the vibrant turquoise waters of the Mediterranean.
Suez Canal
A clear view of the world's most famous maritime shortcut and the massive container ships transiting through it.
Sinai Peninsula
Stark, majestic desert landscapes and the jagged peaks of Mount Sinai against the blue of the Red Sea.
Red Sea Coast
Intricate coral reef patterns and the contrasting deep blue waters along the Saudi Arabian coastline.
The Pearl-Qatar
A stunning view of the man-made island and the West Bay skyline during the final approach into Doha.
The right side is the clear winner for landmark spotting. Try to book an afternoon flight to see the sunset over the Arabian Desert. During the descent into Hamad International Airport, this side almost always provides the best view of the iconic Doha skyline and urban development.
Barcelona Coastline
Striking aerial views of the Eixample district grid and the Sagrada Familia shortly after takeoff.
Sardinia and Corsica
Aerial views of the rugged, mountainous interior and emerald coastlines of these major Mediterranean islands.
Southern Italy
Distant views of the Italian 'boot' and potentially the volcanic silhouettes of the Aeolian Islands.
Peloponnese
The mountainous terrain and jagged coast of southern Greece as the flight crosses the Ionian Sea.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic limestone peaks along the southern coast of Turkey, often snow-capped during winter months.
This side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. It offers excellent views of the Mediterranean island chains and the rugged coastline of southern Europe. Keep an eye out for the distinctive geography of the Greek Peloponnese during the mid-flight segment.
