CRK → DOH
Which side of the plane to sit from Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (Angeles City) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route as it offers breathtaking views of the Vietnamese coastline, the dramatic Musandam Peninsula, and the iconic Doha skyline and artificial islands during the final descent into Hamad International.
Zambales Mountains
Rugged, verdant ridges of the Philippine landscape visible immediately after takeoff from CRK.
Da Nang and Central Vietnam
Stunning views of the marble mountains and the white sandy beaches of the central Vietnamese coast.
Musandam Peninsula
The 'Fjords of Arabia' featuring sharp limestone cliffs and deep blue inlets near the Strait of Hormuz.
The Pearl-Qatar
The iconic man-made island development shaped like a string of pearls, clearly visible during the DOH arrival.
West Bay Skyline
The futuristic cluster of skyscrapers in Doha's financial district as the plane aligns with the runway.
The right side is the 'money side' for the arrival. Most flight paths into DOH loop around the city, providing a panoramic view of the skyline and the Lusail Stadium. For night flights, this side offers spectacular views of the brightly lit cities along the Indian coast and the UAE. Be sure to look out for the Musandam Peninsula roughly 45-60 minutes before landing.
Mount Pinatubo
Aerial view of the famous caldera and its turquoise crater lake shortly after departing from Clark.
Mekong Delta
The intricate network of rivers and lush green rice paddies of southern Vietnam.
Gulf of Thailand
Vast stretches of emerald water and remote tropical islands as you cross into mainland Southeast Asia.
Mumbai Coastline
If the route tracks south, you can see the dense urban sprawl and busy shipping lanes of the Arabian Sea.
Khor Al Adaid
The 'Inland Sea' of Qatar, where the desert dunes meet the ocean in a stunning geological display.
The left side is ideal for catching the sunset while flying westward. On the approach to Doha, this side offers views of the southern industrial cities like Mesaieed and the unique transition from the Rub' al Khali desert to the sea. Ask for a window seat away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Mt. Pinatubo upon departure.
