Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Newark to Doha. The left side wins overall for the spectacular Manhattan and Statue of Liberty departure view, which is one of the most iconic urban takeoff scenes in aviation. The right side is better for landing at DOH, but the departure experience on the left is the highlight of this route. Passengers who want both should prioritize left for takeoff and consider moving if a right window is free on descent.

During takeoff from Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. EWR typically departs northeast on runway 22L/22R or southeast on 04L/04R. On the common southward departures, the left side gives you Manhattan's skyline directly across Newark Bay, with the Hudson River and the full sweep of Lower Manhattan clearly visible during the initial climb. On northeast departures, the left side still captures the Manhattan skyline receding behind you. Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline and Lower Manhattan, Newark Bay, Statue of Liberty (visible on left during southward climb-out), Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.

When landing at Doha International (DOH), sit on the Right side for the best views. Doha Hamad International (DOH) approaches typically come in from the northeast over the Persian Gulf, landing southwest. The right side gives you the Doha city skyline and the West Bay district skyscrapers as you descend over the Gulf, with the shallow turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf visible throughout the approach. Notable sights include: West Bay skyscraper district of Doha, Persian Gulf shallow turquoise waters, Doha Corniche waterfront, Qatar peninsula coastline.

The flight from Newark Liberty International (EWR) to Doha International (DOH) takes Approximately 12 to 13 hours.

The flight path crosses the North Atlantic, then tracks over the UK and Western Europe, passing over the Alps (visible as a dramatic snow-capped mountain chain), then southeastern Europe including Greece and the Aegean Sea, before crossing Turkey and descending over the Arabian Peninsula. The Bosphorus Strait near Istanbul may be visible, and the Eastern Mediterranean is crossed before the arid landscapes of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region appear on descent.
