Which side of the plane to sit from Vadodara Airport (Baroda) to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this short hop, offering breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea coastline and a more iconic perspective of the Mumbai skyline and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link during the final approach.
Search flights from BDQ to BOM
Gulf of Khambhat
Expansive views of the unique coastal geography and the tidal mudflats of the Arabian Sea.
Daman Coastline
Aerial perspective of the former Portuguese colony's beaches and the busy maritime traffic.
Vasai Creek Salt Pans
Intricate white geometric patterns of salt evaporation ponds near the northern Mumbai suburbs.
Bandra-Worli Sea Link
The most iconic view of the flight, seeing the cable-stayed bridge arching over the Mahim Bay.
Mumbai Peninsula
A panoramic look at the high-rise clusters of South Mumbai and the curving shoreline of Marine Drive.
The right side is a clear winner for afternoon and sunset flights as you get the golden hour glow over the Arabian Sea. For the best chance to see the Sea Link, hope for a landing on Runway 27, which usually involves a coastal approach from the west. Avoid sitting directly over the wing for unobstructed views of the coastline.

Narmada River Delta
Witness the massive scale of the Narmada River as it empties into the Gulf of Khambhat near Bharuch.
Surat Cityscape
A clear view of the diamond city's industrial sprawl and the winding Tapi River.
Sahyadri Foothills
Distant views of the Western Ghats mountain range rising to the east of the flight path.
Sanjay Gandhi National Park
A surprising expanse of dense green forest right in the heart of metropolitan Mumbai.
Vihar and Tulsi Lakes
Crucial freshwater reservoirs for Mumbai visible nestled within the green hills during descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for spotting inland industrial hubs and the lush green periphery of the Western Ghats during the monsoon season when the landscape turns vibrant emerald.
