Which side of the plane to sit from Agatti Airport (Agatti Island) to Cochin International Airport (Kochi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the takeoff from Agatti's iconic coral lagoon and provides a panoramic perspective of the Malabar coastline and the bustling Kochi Port during the descent.
Agatti Lagoon
Vibrant turquoise waters and coral reefs surrounding the island immediately after takeoff.
Amindivi Islands
Distant views of Kadmat and Kiltan atolls dotting the deep blue Arabian Sea.
Malabar Coast
The first sight of mainland India, featuring endless sandy beaches and coconut groves.
Kochi Port
A bird's-eye view of the Vallarpadam International Container Transshipment Terminal and large cargo ships.
Western Ghats
On clear days, the hazy blue peaks of the mountain range are visible in the far distance beyond the city.
Sit on the left for the best view of the Agatti landing strip during departure if the plane turns north. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, lighting up the Kerala coastline perfectly for photography. Keep your camera ready as you cross the coastline; the transition from ocean to the dense greenery of Kochi is sudden and beautiful.
Agatti Runway
A stunning view of the narrow airstrip surrounded by water as the plane climbs.
Bangaram Atoll
Views of the teardrop-shaped Bangaram and Thinnakara islands just north of the flight path.
Vembanad Lake
The southern end of India's longest lake and the famous Kerala backwaters during the final approach.
Kochi Skyline
The high-rise apartments of Marine Drive and the urban sprawl of the Queen of the Arabian Sea.
Cloud Formations
Spectacular cumulus clouds often build up over the warm Arabian Sea during the monsoon transition months.
The right side is excellent for seeing the southern backwaters of Kochi during the descent. If you are flying during the late afternoon, be aware that the sun will be on this side, which may cause glare on the window. During the monsoon (June-September), this side often provides dramatic views of towering storm clouds over the mainland.
