CGK → DOH
Which side of the plane to sit from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Jakarta) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of diverse landscapes, including the lush mountains of India, the rugged fjords of the Musandam Peninsula, and the best views of the Doha skyline on approach.
Western Ghats
Stunning views of the mist-covered, green mountain ranges along India's western coast.
Mumbai Metropolis
The dense urban landscape and iconic Marine Drive curve of India's largest city.
Musandam Peninsula
Oman's jagged, fjord-like coastline where the mountains drop directly into the turquoise sea.
UAE Islands
Distant views of the man-made archipelagos and coastal developments near Dubai.
Doha West Bay
The dramatic cluster of skyscrapers and the Corniche during the final descent into Hamad International.
For the best experience, choose a window seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. The transition from the Indian subcontinent to the Arabian Gulf is best viewed in the morning. Keep your camera ready as the plane enters the Strait of Hormuz for the most dramatic geographic features. On landing at DOH, the right side usually provides the most direct view of The Pearl and West Bay districts.
Indian Ocean
Expansive views of the deep blue Indian Ocean during the first half of the journey.
Arabian Sea Shipping
Active shipping lanes with cargo ships and tankers visible in the clear waters approaching the Gulf.
Omani Coastline
Distances views of the arid, golden cliffs of the Southern Arabian Peninsula.
Abu Dhabi Skyline
Possible night-time views of the glittering UAE capital depending on the specific air corridor.
The left side is ideal for catching the sunset over the water during late afternoon departures from Jakarta. It offers a more serene, ocean-centric view. If the flight arrives in Doha at night, look for the brilliant artificial lighting of the offshore oil platforms in the Persian Gulf.
