Which side of the plane to sit from Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (Chongqing) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers superior views of the high-altitude terrain, featuring the massive Tibetan Plateau, the rugged Hindu Kush, and the striking geological folds of the Zagros Mountains.
Tibetan Plateau
The 'Roof of the World' with its snow-capped peaks and massive glaciers visible to the north.
Karakoram Range
Distant views of some of the world's highest mountains bordering the northern flight path.
Indus River
The silver thread of the Indus winding through the arid landscapes of Pakistan.
Zagros Mountains
Remarkable salt domes and folded rock formations across southern Iran.
Persian Gulf
Turquoise waters contrasted against the deep blues of the ocean as you cross toward Qatar.
This is the premier side for geography enthusiasts. Ensure a window seat for the first 4 hours of the flight to see the Himalayan and Tibetan ranges. During winter, the snow cover on the Iranian Plateau is particularly photogenic.
Hengduan Mountains
Deep river valleys and lush ridges visible shortly after departing the Sichuan Basin.
Ganges Basin
The expansive, hazy green plains of Northern India stretching toward the southern horizon.
Thar Desert
The vast golden dunes of the Great Indian Desert near the border of India and Pakistan.
Doha Skyline
A stunning view of the West Bay skyscrapers and The Pearl-Qatar during the final approach.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Doha city center during the landing sequence, especially if the aircraft approaches from the north. For evening flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun while crossing South Asia.
