KUL → DOH
Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring views of the Andaman Islands, the southern tip of India, and the most iconic perspectives of the Doha skyline during the approach into Hamad International Airport.
Andaman Islands
Scattered emerald islands and coral reefs visible in the Bay of Bengal.
Southern Indian Coast
The lush Western Ghats and the tropical shoreline of Kerala as the flight crosses the subcontinent.
Strait of Hormuz
Aerial view of the narrow waterway separating the Arabian Peninsula from Iran.
The Pearl and West Bay
Stunning views of Doha's man-made islands and skyscraper cluster on the final descent.
This is the 'scenic side' for the arrival. Most flights into DOH approach from the north or east, placing the Pearl-Qatar and the iconic West Bay skyline directly in view of right-side windows. For night flights, these areas are brilliantly illuminated.
Strait of Malacca
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, visible shortly after takeoff from KUL.
Arabian Sea
Deep blue oceanic vistas during the central portion of the six-to-seven-hour flight.
Musandam Peninsula
The rugged 'Fjords of Arabia' in northern Oman visible as the aircraft enters the Persian Gulf.
Al Wakrah Stadium
Distinctive Zaha Hadid-designed stadium visible if approaching Doha from the south.
Select this side if you are flying during the late afternoon to witness a desert sunset over the Arabian Peninsula. It is also typically quieter as it avoids the direct glare of the sun for most of the westbound journey.
