Sichuan Basin
Dramatic transition from the flat plains of eastern China to the rugged, terraced hills of central Sichuan.
Karakoram Giants
Unparalleled views of the massive 8,000-meter peaks, including the distant silhouette of K2 if visibility permits.
Iranian Plateau
Vast, desolate salt deserts and intricate rock patterns of the Dasht-e Kavir and Dasht-e Lut.
The Pearl-Qatar
The perfect view of Doha's iconic man-made island and the West Bay skyscrapers just before landing.
Sit on the right for the best chance to see the high peaks of the Karakoram. During the descent into Hamad International Airport, the right side typically offers the most dramatic view of the Doha skyline. Since this is an westbound flight, the right side (North) will have more consistent, soft lighting for photography.

Qiantang River
Aerial view of Hangzhou's rapid urbanization and the winding river known for its massive tidal bores.
Himalayan Foothills
Breathtaking views of the southern slopes of the world's highest mountain range as the flight passes over South Asia.
Makran Coastal Range
Unique geological formations where the rugged mountains of Balochistan meet the turquoise Arabian Sea.
Dubai Coastline
On a clear day, look south to see the distant glitter of the Burj Khalifa and the Palm Jumeirah.
The left side is ideal for catching the southern mountain views during the mid-flight phase. If you are flying during the day, the sunlight will be coming from the south, which can make photography tricky due to glare; however, the golden hour over the Arabian Sea is spectacular.
