TRV → DOH
Which side of the plane to sit from Trivandrum International Airport (Trivandrum) to Hamad International Airport (Doha)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a superior experience with initial views of the lush Kerala coast and the Western Ghats, followed by a dramatic descent over the iconic Doha skyline and West Bay skyscrapers.
Kerala Coastline
The vibrant green landscape of 'God's Own Country' with its dense palm groves and lagoons upon departure.
Western Ghats
The mist-covered peaks of the Sahyadri range visible in the distance shortly after lifting off from TRV.
Omani Coastline
Rugged desert cliffs and rocky outcrops visible as the flight enters the Gulf of Oman.
West Bay Skyscrapers
A panoramic view of Doha's iconic skyline, featuring the Burj Doha and Tornado Tower.
Museum of Islamic Art
I.M. Pei's architectural masterpiece situated on the edge of the Doha Corniche.
Al Janoub Stadium
The Zaha Hadid-designed stadium inspired by the sails of traditional dhow boats, located south of the airport.
The Right Side is the most scenic for this route. Sit here for the best views of the Indian coastline during takeoff. On arrival at Hamad International, if the aircraft lands from the north (Runway 16), this side provides a breathtaking view of the entire Doha waterfront and city center. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the landscape perfectly for photography.
Arabian Sea
Vast expanse of deep blue water stretching across the horizon during the cruise phase.
Lakshadweep Atolls
Tiny coral islands and white sandbars visible as small specks in the ocean shortly after takeoff.
Lusail City
The futuristic master-planned city of Qatar, featuring the zig-zagging Katara Towers.
The Pearl-Qatar
An artificial island spanning nearly four square kilometers, resembling a string of pearls from above.
Lusail Stadium
The golden-bowl shaped stadium that hosted the 2022 World Cup Final, visible on the northern approach.
Select the Left Side for evening flights to witness spectacular sunsets over the Arabian Sea. This side is also excellent for spotting the man-made islands of Qatar during the final descent. For the clearest views of the Persian Gulf, fly during the winter months when the haze is minimal.
