DOH → AMS
Which side of the plane to sit from Hamad International Airport (Doha) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side (Starboard) offers superior views of the dramatic Zagros Mountains shortly after departure, the stunning coastline of the Black Sea, and a high-probability view of the Bosphorus Strait during the transit over Turkey.
Persian Gulf
Emerald waters and the intricate artificial islands along the coast of the Arabian Peninsula.
Zagros Mountains
Extensive views across the water to the majestic, snow-capped ridges of the Iranian mountain ranges.
Istanbul & Bosphorus
On many flight paths, you can spot the bridge connecting Europe and Asia and the dense cityscape of Istanbul.
Black Sea Coastline
The dramatic transition from the lush green mountains of Northern Turkey to the deep blue of the Black Sea.
Dutch Polders
A bird's-eye view of the reclaimed land, windmills, and canal networks during the descent into Schiphol.
The right side provides the best lighting during morning departures, illuminating the Zagros mountains perfectly. During the final approach to AMS, this side often sees the North Sea coast and the famous Dutch coastline if the wind is from the north.
Doha Skyline
A stunning view of the West Bay skyscrapers and The Pearl-Qatar immediately after takeoff from Hamad International.
Anatolian Plateau
Rugged, arid landscapes and deep canyons across the central heartland of Turkey.
Balkan Mountains
Views of the rolling hills and forested peaks of Bulgaria and Serbia as you enter European airspace.
Southern Germany
Detailed views of the Rhine River and the organized agricultural patterns of the German countryside.
For morning flights, the left side will face the sun for a large portion of the journey, making it quite bright; use window shades or polarized sunglasses. This side is best for sunset arrivals into Amsterdam to see the North Sea glow.
