Search flights from DOH to MXP
Persian Gulf Coastline
Breathtaking views of the turquoise waters and artificial islands near Doha immediately after takeoff.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic, jagged limestone peaks and high-altitude valleys throughout southern Turkey.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of over a thousand Croatian islands scattered across the shimmering blue sea.
The Italian Alps
Unrivaled views of the snow-dusted Alpine peaks as the aircraft banks for its final approach into Malpensa.
The right side is significantly more scenic during the final 90 minutes of the flight. For the best views of the Alps, try to fly during daylight hours; during winter months, the low sun angle creates dramatic shadows across the mountain ridges. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Croatian coast for incredible island patterns.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is better if you want to avoid direct sunlight on morning flights, providing a more comfortable viewing experience for the Iraqi and Turkish landscapes.
