Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Barcelona to Doha. The left side captures the Barcelona departure spectacularly and also picks up the Greek islands, Crete, and the Eastern Mediterranean coastline during the cruise phase. The right side is better only for the Doha landing, but the Barcelona departure and the long Mediterranean overwater views make left the stronger choice for the full journey.

During takeoff from Barcelona (BCN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Barcelona El Prat typically departs northeast on runway 07L/07R or southeast on 25R/25L. On the common northeast departure, the left side gives you the city of Barcelona itself, the Gothic Quarter grid, and the coastline curving toward the Llobregat delta. On a southeast departure, left still captures the Montjuïc hill and the port. Notable sights include: Barcelona city grid and Gothic Quarter, Montjuïc hill, Port of Barcelona, Llobregat river delta.

When landing at Doha International (DOH), sit on the Right side for the best views. Doha's Hamad International Airport approaches typically come from the northwest or west over the Arabian Gulf, landing on runways oriented roughly northeast-southwest. On approach from the northwest, the right side faces south toward the Doha city skyline, West Bay skyscraper cluster, and the shallow turquoise waters of the inner gulf. Notable sights include: West Bay skyscraper cluster, Doha Corniche waterfront, shallow turquoise Arabian Gulf waters, Pearl-Qatar artificial island.

It then crosses the Eastern Mediterranean toward Cyprus, before tracking southeast over Lebanon, Syria, or northern Saudi Arabia, crossing the Nafud desert, and descending toward Qatar over the Arabian Gulf. The Zagros Mountains of Iran may be visible on the northern horizon on some routings.
