AUHDAC

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side is generally superior for this route as it offers dramatic views of the rugged Makran coastline and the expansive Indian plains, while avoiding the direct glare of the sun on eastbound daytime flights.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Abu Dhabi Skyline

Aerial views of Yas Island, Ferrari World, and the unique architecture of the UAE capital shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Makran Coastal Range

Dramatic, moon-like rock formations and folded mountains along the southern coast of Balochistan, Pakistan.

🏜️

Thar Desert

The vast, golden expanse of the Great Indian Desert stretching across the border of Pakistan and Rajasthan.

🌊

Ganges River

The winding path of the holy river as the flight traverses the fertile Indo-Gangetic plains of Northern India.

🚁

Dhaka Metropolis

A bird's-eye view of the incredibly dense urban landscape and the Buriganga River during the final descent.

For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Since the flight travels East, this side remains in the shade during morning departures, making it easier to photograph the Pakistani coastline and Indian topography without window glare.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🛳️

Gulf of Oman

Deep blue waters dotted with massive oil tankers and cargo ships heading toward the Strait of Hormuz.

🧂

Rann of Kutch

The unique, seasonal salt marshes of Gujarat which appear as a shimmering white expanse from 35,000 feet.

🌆

Karachi Coastline

Views of the sprawling port infrastructure and the urban density of Pakistan's largest city.

🌳

The Sundarbans

The edge of the world's largest mangrove forest, where the green canopy meets the murky waters of the delta.

🛶

Bengal Delta

An incredible network of thousands of small rivers and alluvial islands that define the geography of Bangladesh.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness a spectacular sunset over the Arabian Sea. If the flight path takes a southerly route over the Bay of Bengal, you will have a prime view of the Sundarbans' intricate river systems just before landing.
