Which side of the plane to sit from Hamad International Airport (Doha) to Yangon International Airport (Yangon)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the UAE coastlines, the vibrant Western Ghats of India, and the most iconic landmarks of Yangon, including the Shwedagon Pagoda, upon final descent.
Doha West Bay
A stunning view of the Doha skyline and The Pearl-Qatar immediately after takeoff from Hamad International.
UAE Coastline
Views of the artificial islands and massive urban developments along the shores of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Western Ghats
The dramatic, mist-covered mountain ranges of India's western coast as the flight enters the mainland.
Mumbai Outskirts
Depending on the specific airway, the sprawling urban landscape of the Mumbai metropolitan region is often visible.
Shwedagon Pagoda
The massive, gold-plated pagoda is frequently visible on the right-hand side during the final approach to Yangon.
For the best experience, choose a seat on the right to maximize your chances of seeing the Shwedagon Pagoda during landing at RGN. On the initial climb from Doha, look out for the unique architectural patterns of the Qatari coast. This side also experiences less direct glare from the sun during the daytime eastward transit across the Indian Ocean.
Arabian Sea Crossing
Deep blue expanses and occasional sightings of large cargo vessels navigating towards the Gulf of Oman.
Bay of Bengal Sunrise
On overnight flights, this side provides a front-row seat to spectacular sunrises over the open ocean.
Southern Indian Peninsula
Aerial views of the lush, green landscapes of southern India as the plane transitions from sea to land.
Coastal Towns
Glimpses of the fishing villages and tropical shorelines along the southeastern coast of India.
The left side is ideal for passengers on evening departures who want to witness the sunrise over the Bay of Bengal. Note that during the monsoon season (June to October), cloud cover is frequent over the Indian subcontinent, potentially obscuring ground views. Window seats behind the wing are recommended to avoid engine glare during the early morning hours.
