Which side of the plane to sit from Hamad International Airport (Doha) to Warsaw Chopin Airport (Warsaw)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is generally superior for this route as it offers breathtaking views of the Persian Gulf at takeoff, a better angle of the Tigris river system, and is typically the side that faces the Warsaw city center during the standard approach into Chopin Airport.

Doha Skyline
Spectacular views of the West Bay skyscrapers and The Pearl-Qatar immediately after departure from DOH.
Persian Gulf
Deep turquoise waters and the coastal outlines of Kuwait and the northern Gulf coast.
Tigris River
The winding, historic waters of the Tigris cutting through the Mesopotamian floodplains of Iraq.
Taurus Mountains
Stunning snow-capped peaks in southern Turkey that provide dramatic shadows during the day.
Black Sea Coastline
The scenic transition where the Turkish mountains meet the deep blue of the Black Sea.
Warsaw Center
The iconic Palace of Culture and Science and modern skyscrapers are often visible on the right during the final approach.
Sit on the right side for the best chance of seeing the Warsaw skyline on arrival. Most flight paths into WAW involve a northern approach that circles the city, putting the downtown area on the right. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the best shots of the Qatari coast.

Arabian Desert
Expansive views of the golden dunes and industrial infrastructure of the northern Arabian Peninsula.
Anatolian Plateau
Rugged and arid landscapes of central Turkey with unique geological formations visible from high altitude.
Carpathian Mountains
The jagged peaks of the Tatra Mountains are often visible on the left as the flight crosses into Poland.
Polish Lowlands
The characteristic long, narrow 'ribbon' fields of the Polish countryside create a colorful mosaic during descent.
For morning flights, the left side is the 'shade' side, preventing glare on your window and making photography of the Carpathians much easier. If the flight arrives in Warsaw during the evening, you may catch a spectacular sunset over the European plains.
