Which side of the plane to sit from Hamad International Airport (Doha) to Henri Coandă International Airport (Bucharest)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Persian Gulf, the massive Lake Van in Turkey, and the scenic Black Sea coastline during the descent into Bucharest.
Persian Gulf
Aerial views of the turquoise waters and coastal developments of the Qatari peninsula.
Lake Van
A massive, saline soda lake in Eastern Turkey surrounded by dramatic volcanic peaks.
Pontic Mountains
Densely forested mountain ranges stretching along the northern coast of Turkey.
Black Sea Coast
The meeting point of the Turkish and Bulgarian coasts with the deep blue Black Sea.
Bucharest Outskirts
The sprawling urban landscape and green spaces of the Romanian capital upon final approach.
Optimal for morning flights to have the sun behind you. Look out for Lake Van approximately 2.5 hours into the flight. If the approach into OTP is from the east, you will get a clear view of the Black Sea shoreline and the Danube Delta area.
Doha Skyline
Striking views of West Bay and The Pearl shortly after takeoff from Hamad International.
Mesopotamian Plains
The expansive and historic desert landscapes of central Iraq and the Euphrates basin.
Taurus Mountains
Snow-capped peaks and rugged terrain as the flight crosses the southern Anatolian region.
Balkan Interior
The rolling hills and dense forests of the southern Bulgarian landscape.
Danube River
The winding silver ribbon of the Danube marking the border between Bulgaria and Romania.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Anatolian plateau. Seats behind the wing offer the clearest view of the Danube during the final 15 minutes of the flight before landing at OTP.
