Which side of the plane to sit from Hamad International Airport (Doha) to Incheon International Airport (Seoul)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it provides a front-row seat to the dramatic northern edges of the Tibetan Plateau and the massive mountain ranges of Central Asia, along with prime views of the Incheon coastline.
Search flights from DOH to ICN
The Persian Gulf
Stunning contrasts between the turquoise shallow waters and the deep blue shipping lanes.
Tibetan Plateau
High-altitude views of the 'Roof of the World,' featuring some of the highest peaks and glaciers on Earth.
Sichuan Basin
The lush, green, and often misty landscape of Central China's river systems.
Incheon Bridge
A spectacular view of the massive cable-stayed bridge connecting Yeongjong Island to the mainland upon descent.
For the best experience, select a window seat on the right side for flights departing Doha in the late evening, as you will cross the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau during the daylight hours of the following morning. Keep your camera ready about 5-6 hours into the flight for the most dramatic mountain scenery.

Doha Skyline
Aerial perspective of the West Bay district and the iconic Pearl-Qatar island immediately after departure.
Zagros Mountains
Extensive views of the folded limestone ridges and deep valleys stretching across Iran.
Gobi Desert
The vast, desolate expanses of the northern Gobi terrain as the flight traverses towards East Asia.
Yellow Sea
Watch the transition from open sea to the rugged, island-dotted coastline of South Korea.
The left side is best for night flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun during the day. In the winter months, look for the snow-covered Alborz mountains if the flight path tracks slightly further north over Iran. It offers a great view of the sunset on late afternoon departures from Doha.
