ATQ → DEL
Which side of the plane to sit from Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport (Amritsar) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the major river systems of Punjab and, on clear days, the distant silhouette of the Himalayan foothills to the north.

Beas River Crossing
Visible shortly after takeoff from Amritsar, featuring wide sandy banks and meandering water channels.
Ludhiana Urban Sprawl
The industrial heart of Punjab appears as a dense grid of residential and factory zones.
Shivalik Range
During clear post-monsoon or winter days, the distant snowy peaks of the Himalayas can be seen on the horizon.
Satluj River
A massive riverbed crossing south of Ludhiana, marking a major geographical boundary in the Punjab plains.
Panipat Industrial Hub
Large-scale refineries and textile plants mark the final stretch of the journey toward Delhi.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. This side is significantly better for spotting the mountains when the air is clear. During winter, look for the 'white sheet' of ground fog that often covers the plains but leaves the industrial smoke stacks poking through.

Punjab Hinterland
A vast 'patchwork quilt' of agricultural fields that change color from vibrant green to golden gold depending on the season.
Grand Trunk Road
Follow the historic NH44 highway as it cuts a straight line through the rural landscape.
Rohtak Skyline
A growing urban center in Haryana visible as the plane begins its descent into the National Capital Region.
Gurgaon Skyscrapers
On western approaches to IGI Airport, the high-rise glass towers of Millennium City are clearly visible.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the horizon, though sun glare can be intense. It offers a better perspective of the modern Gurgaon skyline and the sprawling western suburbs of Delhi during the final landing pattern.
