Which side of the plane to sit from Hamad International Airport (Doha) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an exceptional view of the historic Mesopotamian rivers, the Anatolian highlands, and the winding Danube River through Central Europe.
Kuwait City
Aerial views of the iconic Kuwait Towers and the busy coastline of the Persian Gulf.
Mesopotamia
The historic fertile crescent, featuring the winding paths of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic views of the jagged, snow-dusted peaks across central and eastern Turkey.
Black Sea Coast
A striking transition from the high Anatolian plateau to the deep blue waters of the Black Sea.
Danube River
Multiple crossings over Europe's second-longest river, including potential views of Budapest's city center.
The right side is ideal for morning departures to avoid direct sun glare while photographing the Mesopotamian plains. This side also typically offers better views of the Frankfurt skyline if the aircraft approaches from the east on the common runway 25 configuration.
Wadi Rum
Vast red desert landscapes and striking rock formations visible near the Jordanian border.
Turkish Riviera
The turquoise waters and rugged coastline where the Mediterranean meets the Taurus Mountains.
The Alps
Distant vistas of snow-capped peaks across the southern horizon while flying over Central Europe.
Main Valley
Picturesque vineyards and small German villages along the Main River during the final approach.
Choose the left side for sunset views on afternoon flights. It offers superior views of the Mediterranean coastline and the southern face of the Alpine range during the winter months.
