Which side of the plane to sit from Biju Patnaik Airport (Bhubaneswar) to Vishakhapatnam Airport (Vishakhapatnam)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a breathtaking perspective of the Bay of Bengal coastline and the expansive Chilika Lake, which is the primary highlight of this short coastal hop.
Chilika Lake
View the largest brackish water lagoon in Asia, famous for its migratory birds and unique ecosystem.
Gopalpur-on-Sea
Spot the historic lighthouse and the beautiful sandy beaches of this colonial-era seaside resort.
Rushikulya River Mouth
The famous mass nesting site for Olive Ridley sea turtles where the river meets the Bay of Bengal.
Visakhapatnam Port
As you descend, witness the massive cargo ships and the bustling industrial maritime activity of the port.
Dolphin's Nose
A massive rock formation and lighthouse that resembles a dolphin's nose, marking the entrance to the harbor.
For the best experience, book a window seat on the left (Seat A) for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the water. This side provides a continuous view of the coastline throughout the 1-hour flight. Look out for the distinct color contrast where the lake meets the sea.
Eastern Ghats
The rolling green hills and rugged terrain of the Eastern Ghats range running parallel to the coast.
Odisha Plains
A patchwork of vibrant green paddy fields and rural settlements typical of coastal Odisha.
Simhachalam Hills
Dense forest cover and hills housing the ancient Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha temple near the destination.
Berhampur Urban Scrawl
The dense urban layout of the 'Silk City' as the aircraft passes over southern Odisha.
The right side (Seat F) is better during afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the hills of the Eastern Ghats. It offers a more terrestrial view of the agricultural heartland and inland geography.
