DOH β CRK
Which side of the plane to sit from Hamad International Airport (Doha) to Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (Angeles City)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is favored for the spectacular views of the Musandam Peninsula's fjords and the rare opportunity to see the crater of Mount Pinatubo during the final descent into Clark.
Musandam Peninsula
The dramatic 'Fjords of Arabia' in Oman, where jagged limestone mountains meet the Strait of Hormuz.
Laccadive Sea
Views of the coral islands and deep blue waters off the southwestern tip of the Indian subcontinent.
Mekong Delta
The intricate network of rivers and lush green paddies of Southern Vietnam as the plane exits mainland SE Asia.
Spratly Islands
Small oceanic features and reefs visible during the crossing between Vietnam and the Philippines.
Mount Pinatubo
The stunning crater lake of this famous volcano is often clearly visible on the right during the arrival pattern into Clark.
The right side offers the most iconic landmark of the tripβMount Pinatubo. Since many DOH-CRK flights arrive in the late afternoon, this side also enjoys a spectacular sunset over the South China Sea. Aim for a seat ahead of or behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the volcanic crater during descent.
Doha West Bay
Immediate views of Qatar's modern skyline and The Pearl-Qatar artificial island shortly after takeoff from Hamad International.
Dubai & UAE Coast
Aerial perspective of the Palm Jumeirah and the Burj Khalifa if the flight path tracks slightly north along the Persian Gulf.
Western Ghats
The lush, green mountain ranges along India's western coast, particularly striking during the monsoon season.
Paracel Islands
Remote coral atolls and turquoise lagoons scattered across the South China Sea.
Zambales Mountains
The rugged ridge of the Zambales range as the aircraft enters Philippine airspace toward Central Luzon.
The left side is best for night flights to see the brightly lit cities of the UAE and India. For day flights, the reflection of the sun off the South China Sea can be intense, so keep your window shade partially closed during the mid-flight segment.
