Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, combining the dramatic coastline of the Gulf of Khambhat with the iconic urban geography of Mumbai's western suburbs and beaches upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸŒ…

Gulf of Khambhat

Stunning views of the tidal flats and the deep blue Arabian Sea where the Gujarat coastline curves.

πŸ–οΈ

Dandi Coastline

Historical stretches of beach and salt pans visible as the flight tracks the shoreline southward.

🚀

Tapi River Mouth

The scenic estuary where the Tapi River empties into the sea near the city of Surat.

πŸŒ‰

Vasai Creek

The dramatic water boundary that separates the Mumbai suburban district from the mainland.

πŸ–οΈ

Juhu and Versova

Excellent views of Mumbai's famous beaches and the dense high-rise clusters of the western suburbs.

πŸŒ‰

Bandra-Worli Sea Link

If the aircraft approaches from the sea for Runway 09, this side offers the most iconic view of the bridge.

The right side is unbeatable for sunset views on evening flights. For the best photography of the Mumbai coastline and the Sea Link, try to secure a seat away from the wing. During winter mornings, be prepared for some smog over the city which can obscure fine land details.

Left Side Highlights

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the rising sun. This side is particularly scenic during the monsoon season (June–September) when the inland landscapes of Gujarat and Maharashtra turn a vibrant, lush green.
