AMM β BKK
Which side of the plane to sit from Queen Alia International Airport (Amman) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Zagros Mountains in Iran, the vast Indus River Delta, and a more dramatic perspective of the lush Burmese mountains and northern Thai highlands.
Mesopotamian Plains
Vast desert landscapes and the historic fertile crescent between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
Zagros Mountains
Snow-capped peaks and rugged tectonic ridges stretching across southwestern Iran.
Indus River Delta
The complex network of waterways where the Indus meets the Arabian Sea near Karachi.
Northern India Cities
Views of sprawling urban centers like Ahmedabad and the outskirts of Kolkata.
Arakan Mountains
Dense, jungle-covered mountain ranges in Myanmar as the flight heads toward Southeast Asia.
Chao Phraya Basin
The fertile green plains and winding river networks of central Thailand during the descent.
Sit on the left (Port) side for the best sunrise views as you travel eastbound. On night flights, the oil refinery flares in the Persian Gulf create a unique glowing landscape. For the best view of the Zagros mountains, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze.
Dead Sea
Visible shortly after departure from Amman, providing a view of the lowest point on Earth.
Persian Gulf Coastline
Glittering lights of the UAE and the distinctive artificial islands of Dubai if the route tracks south.
Arabian Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue ocean as the flight crosses from the Middle East to South Asia.
Deccan Plateau
The elevated heartland of the Indian subcontinent, featuring varied agricultural patterns.
Bay of Bengal
Wide panoramic views of the sea before making landfall over the Irrawaddy Delta.
Gulf of Thailand
Distant views of the turquoise waters and cargo ships waiting to enter the port of Bangkok.
The right side is ideal for seeing the Dead Sea immediately after takeoff. If the flight is during the day, the glare from the sun is more prominent on this side when flying east-southeast, so keep your window shade ready. During monsoon season (JuneβSept), expect massive towering cumulonimbus clouds over the Bay of Bengal.
