Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the iconic snow-capped peaks of the Western Alps, the stunning turquoise waters of the Adriatic coast, and a prime view of the Doha skyline during the final approach sequence into Hamad International.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Western Europe often emerges as a dominant feature on the southern horizon.
Dalmatian Coast
A beautiful stretch of the Croatian coastline and the scattered islands of the Adriatic Sea.
Taurus Mountains
The rugged, sun-drenched peaks of southern Turkey that mark the transition into the Middle East.
Mesopotamian Rivers
Aerial views of the winding Euphrates and Tigris rivers as they flow through the historic Fertile Crescent.
Doha West Bay
An incredible panorama of the futuristic skyscrapers and the Corniche as the plane turns for landing.
Choose the right side for sunset flights to catch the golden hour over the Arabian desert. This side is also strategically better for seeing the sprawling Lusail development and the iconic West Bay skyline during typical landing patterns from the north.
Central Alps
Spectacular views of the Swiss and Austrian Alpine peaks shortly after leaving French airspace.
Black Sea Horizon
Glimpses of the northern Turkish coastline and the deep blue expanse of the Black Sea.
Zagros Mountains
Dramatic, folded rock formations and rugged ridges across the border regions of Iraq and Iran.
The Pearl-Qatar
A bird's-eye view of the iconic man-made island and its circular yacht basins during descent.
On daytime flights, the left side provides excellent diffused light for photographing the Alps without heavy glare. During the final approach, look out for the distinct geometric patterns of the Pearl-Qatar and the Katara Towers.
