Which side of the plane to sit from Yangon International Airport (Yangon) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of diverse geographic transitions, including the lush Irrawaddy Delta, the vast Indian interior, the Mumbai megalopolis, and the dramatic coastline of the UAE and Oman before landing.
Irrawaddy Delta
The intricate network of rivers and emerald green rice paddies of Myanmar's primary agricultural heartland.
Deccan Plateau
Crossing the heart of India, featuring the rugged terrain and seasonal rivers of the central highland region.
Mumbai Skyline
A frequent waypoint that offers views of the sprawling city, the Gateway of India, and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link.
Musandam Peninsula
The jagged, fjord-like limestone mountains of Oman where the desert meets the Strait of Hormuz.
UAE Coastline
Views of the architectural marvels of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, including artificial islands and skyscrapers, depending on the air corridor.
The Pearl-Qatar
Direct views of Doha's iconic man-made island and the West Bay skyline during the final descent phase.
The right side is significantly more scenic. For the best clarity, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you when viewing India. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Indian coast near Mumbai and again when approaching the Persian Gulf, as the transition from the rugged Omani mountains to the turquoise waters is spectacular.
Gulf of Martaban
Aerial view of the silt-heavy waters where the Salween River meets the Andaman Sea shortly after takeoff.
Lakshadweep Atolls
Occasional distant views of the turquoise coral atolls in the Arabian Sea off the southwestern coast of India.
Arabian Sea Horizon
An uninterrupted view of the horizon, perfect for watching the sunset on afternoon and evening departures.
Mesaieed Landscapes
The industrial and desert landscapes of southern Qatar as the aircraft maneuvers for approach into Hamad International.
The left side is most advantageous for travelers on late afternoon flights seeking a sunset over the Arabian Sea. Early in the flight, look down for the distinct color change in the water near the Myanmar coast. During the final approach into Doha, this side may offer views of the southern Qatari oil refineries and desert dunes.
