BAH β†’ COK

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is slightly superior as it offers a more dramatic view of the Kerala backwaters and the Western Ghats during the final approach into Kochi, along with early views of the Bahraini archipelago.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Amwaj Islands

An excellent aerial perspective of Bahrain's luxury man-made islands shortly after takeoff.

πŸ‡ΆπŸ‡¦

Qatar Peninsula

Views of the shimmering turquoise waters and the northern tip of Qatar as the flight heads southeast.

🚒

Arabian Sea Traffic

Spot large cargo vessels and oil tankers navigating one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.

🌴

Vembanad Lake

The vast expanse of Kerala's largest lake and the famous backwaters visible during the final landing phase.

🏞️

Western Ghats

The misty, forest-covered mountain range that provides a beautiful backdrop to the Kochi landscape on clear days.

Choose the right side for morning arrivals to see the sunrise over the Western Ghats. It is also the best side for capturing the intricate 'Venice of the East' canal systems and coconut groves just before touching down at COK.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
πŸ™οΈ

Manama Skyline

A stunning view of Bahrain's capital city and its modern skyscrapers immediately after departure from BAH.

πŸ—οΈ

Dubai Coastline

Distant but visible views of the Palm Jumeirah and the Burj Khalifa if the flight path follows the northern UAE coast.

⛰️

Al Hajar Mountains

The rugged, dark peaks of the mountain range stretching through Oman and the UAE as you cross the peninsula.

🌊

Malabar Coastline

The first sightings of the lush, tropical greenery of the Indian sub-continent as the aircraft begins its descent.

For flights departing in the late afternoon, the left side provides a better angle to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun over the Arabian Sea. This side is also preferable if the flight path takes a more northerly route over the UAE cities.
