Which side of the plane to sit from Biju Patnaik Airport (Bhubaneswar) to Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it provides a front-row seat to the massive Chilika Lake and the scenic Bay of Bengal coastline during the initial phase of the flight.
Chilika Lake
Asia's largest brackish water lagoon, showcasing a stunning mosaic of islands and blue water shortly after takeoff from BBI.
Coromandel Coast
Continuous views of the eastern shoreline where the Bay of Bengal meets the golden sands of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.
Godavari & Krishna Deltas
Lush green agricultural patterns and intricate river distributaries as the plane crosses these major river systems.
Morning Sun Reflections
On early morning flights, the sun reflects beautifully off the coastal waters and inland wetlands.
For the best experience, book an early morning flight to see Chilika Lake illuminated by the rising sun. Secure a seat ahead of the wing (Rows 5-10) to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline and the lake, which appears approximately 15 minutes after departure.
Eastern Ghats
The undulating, ancient mountain ranges and forested ridges that run parallel to the flight path.
Deccan Plateau
The transition into the rugged, rocky terrain and red soil characteristic of interior Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
Nandi Hills
Prominent hill fortress and scenic peaks visible during the final descent into Kempegowda International Airport.
Plateau Sunsets
Incredible golden hour views over the vast inland plains on evening flights heading southwest.
The right side is ideal for evening travelers looking for sunset views over the Deccan Plateau. During the monsoon season (June-September), this side often features dramatic cloud formations rising over the Ghats. Keep an eye out for the rocky outcrops of the Rayalaseema region mid-flight.
