Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a front-row seat to the dramatic Western Ghats and the iconic South Mumbai skyline including the Bandra-Worli Sea Link during the final approach.

Andaman Sea Islands
Exquisite views of the turquoise waters and small island chains shortly after departure from Bangkok.
Arabian Sea Sunset
On evening flights, the sun sets directly to the left, bathing the cabin and the clouds in deep gold and violet.
Western Ghats
The rugged, mist-covered peaks of the Sahyadri range appearing as the plane begins its descent into Maharashtra.
Mumbai Coastal Skyline
Uninterrupted views of the Marine Drive 'Queen's Necklace' and the dense skyscrapers of the southern peninsula.
For the best views of the Mumbai skyline, select a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the landmarks. Most BKK-BOM flights arrive in the evening; the left side is ideal for catching the sunset over the sea. During the monsoon months of June to September, keep your camera ready for the intense greenery of the Ghats.

Central Indian Plains
A massive patchwork of agricultural fields and rural villages across the Deccan Plateau.
Sanjay Gandhi National Park
The vast green lungs of Mumbai, visible as a stark contrast to the surrounding urban density.
Thane Creek & Ports
Views of the industrial maritime infrastructure, large container ships, and the mangroves of Navi Mumbai.
Navi Mumbai Growth
The sprawling new urban developments and bridges connecting the mainland to the island city.
The right side is better for travelers who want to avoid the direct glare of the sun during afternoon flights. Look for the Godavari River snaking through the landscape about 45 minutes before landing. This side also offers a better view of the northern suburbs and the hills of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park during the final bank into the airport.
