Which side of the plane to sit from Hamad International Airport (Doha) to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panorama of the futuristic Doha skyline and the Pearl-Qatar upon departure, plus a better angle for the Western Ghats mountain range when entering Indian airspace.
Search flights from DOH to HYD
Doha West Bay
Uninterrupted views of the iconic skyscraper cluster and the Corniche shortly after takeoff from DOH.
The Pearl-Qatar
The intricate man-made island complex is clearly visible as the plane climbs over the Persian Gulf.
Persian Gulf
Deep turquoise waters dotted with offshore oil platforms and maritime vessels.
Western Ghats
Dramatic views of the lush, mist-covered mountain ranges as the flight crosses into the Indian mainland.
Hussain Sagar Lake
During the descent into Hyderabad, the heart-shaped lake and the city's urban sprawl are often visible to the north.
For the best experience, book a window seat away from the wing. On night flights, the left side provides a spectacular view of the illuminated Doha city. As you enter India, usually near the Maharashtra-Karnataka border, the terrain changes from coastal plains to the rugged Western Ghats; keep your camera ready for the sudden change in elevation and greenery. During the monsoon season (June-September), expect dramatic cloud formations over the Arabian Sea.

Qatari Coastline
Aerial view of the desert landscape meeting the sea at the southern edge of Doha.
Arabian Sea Transit
Observation of major international shipping lanes with massive tankers heading toward the Strait of Hormuz.
Deccan Plateau
The vast, rocky agricultural plains of Telangana characterized by unique granite boulder formations.
Nehru Outer Ring Road
The massive 8-lane expressway encircling Hyderabad is a prominent landmark during the final approach to Shamshabad.
The right side is excellent for observing the vastness of the Arabian Sea during the mid-flight cruise. As this flight generally travels east-southeast, the right side (south-facing) will experience direct sunlight for much of the journey; keep the window shade down if you want to avoid glare. Upon arrival at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, the right side often gets a great view of the airport's modular terminal and the expansive cargo facilities.
