Which side of the plane to sit from Geneva Cointrin International Airport (Geneva) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is highly recommended for its immediate view of Mont Blanc after departure and its superior positioning for the Doha skyline and man-made islands upon arrival.
Mont Blanc
Unrivaled views of Europe's highest peak as the aircraft turns southeast from Geneva.
Dalmation Coast
The stunning network of islands and turquoise waters along the coast of Croatia.
Arabian Desert
The mesmerizing orange-red sand dunes and vast desert basins of northern Saudi Arabia.
Doha Skyline
Iconic views of the West Bay skyscrapers and the geometric beauty of The Pearl-Qatar during the final approach.
The right side is the best choice for the approach into Hamad International Airport; sit here to see the city's futuristic architecture. For photography, be mindful of the desert haze in the afternoon which can affect long-range visibility.
Pennine Alps
Spectacular views of the high Swiss peaks, including the Monte Rosa massif, shortly after takeoff.
Venetian Lagoon
An aerial perspective of the historic city of Venice and the northern Adriatic coastline.
Taurus Mountains
The dramatic, snow-capped ridges and deep valleys stretching across southern Turkey.
Kuwait City
A clear view of the urban sprawl and the distinct curve of the Persian Gulf coastline.
Choose the left side on evening flights to watch the moon rise over the Persian Gulf. This side also remains in the shade during the hottest parts of the flight, making it more comfortable for viewing.
