West Bay Skyline
Spectacular views of Doha's futuristic skyscrapers immediately after takeoff.
The Pearl-Qatar
The intricate man-made island cluster visible during the initial climb.
Black Sea Coast
The contrasting blues where the Turkish coastline meets the Black Sea.
Danube River
The silver thread of Europe's second-longest river near Budapest.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore renewable energy arrays as you approach the UK coast.
The Pennines
The rugged 'backbone of England' during the approach to runway 23R/05L.
Sit on the right for the best chance to see the iconic Doha skyline at the start. On daytime flights, this side is shaded from the sun, making it ideal for clear, glare-free photography of the Anatolian terrain and the North Sea crossing. Entering the UK near the Humber Estuary provides great views of the East Yorkshire coast.

The fertile crescent between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Iraq.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys in southern Turkey.
Central European Cities
Aerial views of Sofia and the rolling landscapes of the Balkans.
Rhine Valley

Peak District
Lush green dales and gritstone edges during the final descent into Manchester.
Choose this side if you want to see the sunset on a late afternoon flight. During the winter, the Anatolian plateau and the European plains often provide stunning snowy vistas, though direct sun glare can be intense on southbound-facing windows.
