BRU → DOH
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it captures the most dramatic Alpine vistas, the crystalline waters of the Aegean Sea, and provides a stunning perspective of the Doha skyline upon arrival.
Central Alpine Chain
Spectacular views of high glaciers and iconic peaks in the Swiss and Austrian Alps.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate coastline of Croatia and its thousands of islands in the Adriatic Sea.
Aegean Sea Islands
A stunning mosaic of Greek islands surrounded by deep azure Mediterranean waters.
Mesopotamian Basin
The historic Tigris and Euphrates rivers carving through the desert landscape of Iraq.
Doha West Bay
A magnificent view of The Pearl-Qatar and the iconic skyscrapers of the West Bay district during landing.
This is the photographer's choice. Ensure you are awake about 1-2 hours into the flight for the Alps and again during the final 20 minutes for the Doha skyline. If landing on runway 34L or 34R, the right side offers a direct view of the city center.
Rhine-Main Valley
Bird's-eye views of the industrial heart of Germany and the winding Rhine river.
Northern Alps
The rugged northern limestone ridges of the Austrian and Bavarian Alps.
Istanbul & Bosporus
The glittering lights or vast urban sprawl of Istanbul where Europe meets Asia.
Pontic Mountains
Dramatic, folded mountain ranges along the northern coast of Turkey.
Northern Persian Gulf
Vibrant turquoise waters and offshore oil platforms as you approach the Qatari peninsula.
Sit on the left for better sunrise views during overnight flights. This side offers the best lighting for the colorful, arid landscapes of the Anatolian Plateau and the Zagros Mountains during the mid-to-late afternoon.
