Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the diverse landscapes across the Indian subcontinent and the dramatic mountain ranges of Southern Iran, combined with better lighting for the eastward journey.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Zagros Foothills

The rugged, folded rock formations of Southern Iran's coastal mountain ranges.

🏜️

Thar Desert

The golden expanse of the Great Indian Desert across Rajasthan.

🌊

Ganges River Basin

The vast, fertile plains and winding tributaries of Northern India.

🏞️

Irrawaddy River

The sprawling river delta and lush green heartland of Myanmar.

🏙️

Bangkok Suburbs

The dense urban sprawl and northern perimeter of the Thai capital on descent.

For the typical overnight flight, the left side provides a front-row seat to a spectacular sunrise over Southeast Asia. It also avoids direct southern sun exposure, which can make the cabin hot and the window glare intense during daytime segments.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏝️

Amwaj Islands

A perfect aerial view of Bahrain's iconic man-made island clusters shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Gulf of Oman

Deep blue waters where the Persian Gulf meets the Arabian Sea.

⚓

Indian West Coast

Potential views of the Mumbai coastline depending on the specific flight corridor.

🏝️

Mergui Archipelago

Breathtaking views of hundreds of untouched islands off the coast of Myanmar.

🚤

Chao Phraya River

The 'River of Kings' winding through Bangkok during the final approach.

The right side is best for those wanting to see the Bahraini coastline upon departure. On arrival in Bangkok, if the flight approaches from the south, this side provides excellent views of the Gulf of Thailand and the shipping lanes.
