AMD → DEL
Which side of the plane to sit from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (Ahmedabad) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the ancient Aravalli Range and a more scenic approach into the sprawling National Capital Region, often including the Yamuna River.
Aravalli Range
Dramatic views of one of the world's oldest fold mountain systems running parallel to the flight path.
Jaipur Outskirts
Spot the outskirts of the Pink City and the rugged forts protecting the mountain passes of Rajasthan.
Delhi NCR Urban Sprawl
Massive scale of the capital's urbanization, featuring high-rise clusters in Gurugram and Dwarka during descent.
Yamuna River
The winding path of the Yamuna River provides a distinct landmark as the aircraft aligns for final approach into DEL.
This is the preferred side for evening flights to see the shimmering lights of Delhi and Gurugram. Winter morning flights might experience heavy fog, so mid-day or clear night flights are recommended for the best mountain and city views. Look out for the distinct change from the dry Rajasthani landscape to the greener plains of Haryana.
Sabarmati Riverfront
Aerial view of Ahmedabad's iconic urban riverfront development shortly after departure from AMD.
Thar Desert Horizons
The landscape transitions into the arid, sandy plains of western Rajasthan with distant desert vistas.
Sambhar Salt Lake
On clearer days or slightly western flight paths, the vast white expanse of India's largest inland salt lake is visible.
Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun glare. The terrain is flatter here, making it ideal for spotting localized dust storms during the pre-monsoon summer months.
