Bangkok Skyline
Panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River and the dense urban sprawl of Bangkok immediately after departure.
Arakan Mountains
The lush, folded mountain ranges of western Myanmar transitioning into the Bay of Bengal.
Indian Subcontinent
The intricate network of rivers and vast agricultural patterns across the central Indian plains.
Makran Coastline
Stunning white desert cliffs and deep turquoise waters along the coast of Pakistan and Iran.
Sharjah & Dubai
Views of the Persian Gulf coastline and the northern emirates as you enter the final holding or approach patterns.
Select the right side for daytime flights to witness the incredible geological formations of the Makran Coast. During the typical approach into Dubai from the northwest (over the Gulf), the right side usually offers a clearer view of the coastline. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the diverse terrain.

Andaman Sea
Views of the emerald waters and islands off the coast of Myanmar shortly after takeoff.
Indian Ocean
Expansive views of the shipping lanes and deep blue waters of the Arabian Sea.
Gulf of Oman
The rugged, arid coastline of the Musandam Peninsula and Oman's northern coast.
Hajar Mountains
Sharp, rocky peaks that define the border between Oman and the UAE during descent.
Burj Khalifa
Depending on the wind-dependent approach into DXB, the city skyline can appear on the left side.
Sit on the left for sunset views on afternoon departures from Bangkok. This side is often better for seeing the Hajar Mountains during the descent phase. If the landing approach into Dubai happens from the south, the Palm Jumeirah and Burj Al Arab may be visible if the flight path tracks over the water.
