Which side of the plane to sit from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the diverse landscapes, including the unique karst formations of Southern China, distant Himalayan peaks, and the architectural wonders of the Persian Gulf during the approach.
Guizhou Karst Mountains
Stunning views of the iconic 'forest of peaks' and limestone formations in Southern China.
Himalayan Horizon
On clear days, the distant snow-capped silhouettes of the world's highest peaks are visible to the north.
Brahmaputra River
The massive, winding river system carving through the plains of Assam and Bangladesh.
Iranian Plateau
Stark, beautiful desert ripples and salt flats visible across the Gulf of Oman.
Dubai and UAE Coast
Frequent flight paths provide a bird's-eye view of the Burj Khalifa and the Palm Islands during descent.
The Pearl-Qatar
Clear views of Doha's man-made islands and the West Bay skyline just before landing at DOH.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to capture the karst mountains early in the flight. During the final 45 minutes, stay alert for the UAE coastline and the spectacular turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf which are most vibrant in the midday sun.
Pearl River Delta
Aerial view of the sprawling urban density of Guangzhou and Foshan immediately after takeoff.
Bay of Bengal
A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight crosses from Southeast Asia toward the Indian subcontinent.
Konkan Coast
Glimpses of the western shoreline of India and the bustling maritime activity near the Mumbai corridor.
Omani Mountains
The rugged, reddish-brown Al Hajar mountain range visible before crossing into the Gulf.
The left side is preferable for night flights to avoid the northern sun glare during the day. It offers excellent views of the lit-up coastal cities of India and the Arabian Peninsula during evening departures.
