Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the UAE's iconic skyline during the Gulf transit and provides the best angle for Qatar's man-made islands and stadiums during arrival.
Tenasserim Range
Dense jungle-covered mountains forming the natural border between Thailand and Myanmar shortly after departure.
Dubai Skyline
Distant but clear views of the Burj Khalifa and the coastline of the UAE while flying through the Persian Gulf.
The Pearl-Qatar
The intricate, oyster-shaped man-made island complex that is a signature landmark of Doha's luxury development.
Lusail Stadium
The golden bowl-shaped stadium that hosted the World Cup final, easily visible in the new city of Lusail.
Lusail Winter Wonderland
The brightly lit amusement park and development zone of Qatar's newest sustainable city.
The right side is generally better for daytime flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun, which stays to the south. It is the premier choice for seeing the architectural marvels of the UAE and Qatar's northern districts. On approach, sit here to see the geometric perfection of The Pearl and Lusail's iconic crescent towers.
Andaman Sea
Aerial views of the Mergui Archipelago's turquoise waters and remote islands off the coast of Myanmar.
Western Ghats
The lush, misty mountain range along India's western coast as you cross the subcontinent toward the Arabian Sea.
Musandam Peninsula
The dramatic, jagged 'Fjords of Arabia' in the Omani enclave where the mountains meet the Strait of Hormuz.
Doha West Bay
A close-up view of the glittering cluster of skyscrapers and the corniche during the final bank for landing.
The left side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Arabian Sea. During the approach into Doha from the north, this side provides a stunning panoramic view of the West Bay skyline and the Museum of Islamic Art just minutes before touchdown.
