Which side of the plane to sit from Hamad International Airport (Doha) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic topographical views, including the rugged Zagros Mountains and the snow-capped peaks of the Greater Caucasus Range.
Doha West Bay
Aerial view of the iconic skyscrapers and The Pearl-Qatar shortly after departure from Hamad International.
Zagros Mountains
Witness the sharp ridges and deep valleys of western Iran's massive mountain system.
Caucasus Peaks
Stunning views of the high Caucasus, with a chance to spot Mount Elbrus, Europe's highest peak, to the northwest.
Russian Heartland
Dense forests and agricultural mosaics of the Voronezh and Tula regions as you approach Moscow.
Sit forward of the wing for the clearest view of the Caucasus peaks. On daytime flights, the lighting is ideal for photography in the late afternoon. During winter months, the contrast between the white mountain peaks and the dark valleys is particularly striking.
Persian Gulf
Deep turquoise waters and various offshore platforms visible during the initial climb.
Caspian Shoreline
Views of the western Caspian Sea coastline and the sprawling industrial areas near Baku.
Volga River Delta
The intricate network of waterways where the Volga meets the Caspian Sea.
Moscow Outskirts
The expanding residential blocks and industrial zones surrounding Domodedovo during the final descent.
Choose this side if you prefer water views, specifically the Caspian Sea. If flying overnight, this side offers a better chance to see the lights of the Baku oil fields and the dense city lights of Volgograd and other southern Russian hubs.
