GVADOH

Our Recommendation
8.8

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏔️

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.
