AUH → TRV
Which side of the plane to sit from Abu Dhabi International Airport (Abu Dhabi) to Trivandrum International Airport (Trivandrum)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning Abu Dhabi coastline upon departure and a magnificent panorama of the Indian subcontinent's lush Malabar Coast and Western Ghats during the descent.
Abu Dhabi Skyline
Panoramic views of the capital's modern architecture and the iconic Yas Island shortly after takeoff.
Saadiyat Island
Aerial perspective of the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of the UAE's cultural district.
Musandam Fjords
Dramatic rocky peninsulas and deep blue inlets of Oman visible if the flight path tracks slightly north.
Kerala Coastline
The emerald green landscape of India's southwest coast as the plane follows the shoreline toward Trivandrum.
Western Ghats
A glimpse of the misty mountain ranges and dense forests that run parallel to the Indian coast.
Kerala Backwaters
Intricate networks of lagoons and canals visible during the final approach into Trivandrum.
For the best experience, choose a seat away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Indian coastline. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit views of the Western Ghats. Watch for the glittering city lights of Mangalore and Kochi if flying at night.
Arabian Sea
A vast, calming expanse of deep blue water for the majority of the flight duration.
Oceanic Sunset
Spectacular orange and purple hues reflecting off the water during evening flight segments.
Shipping Arteries
Spotting large tankers and cargo vessels navigating the busy maritime routes between the Gulf and Asia.
Laccadive Sea
Clear blue waters as the aircraft begins its final turn over the sea for the approach into TRV.
The right side is ideal for passengers who prefer a quiet, glare-free environment during morning flights. While land views are limited until the final approach, the sunset views over the open sea are world-class. During the monsoon season (June-September), this side offers dramatic views of massive cloud formations over the ocean.
