Which side of the plane to sit from Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) to Kuwait International Airport (Kuwait)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Zagros Mountains across the Persian Gulf and the intricate coastlines of Western India and the Gulf states.
Western Ghats
Lush, green mountain ranges visible as the aircraft crosses the western coast of India.
Gujarat Industrial Hubs
Large-scale industrial plants and busy ports like Mundra along the Gulf of Kutch.
Persian Gulf Blue
The striking transition of water colors from deep blue to turquoise near the coastlines.
Zagros Mountains
Spectacular, jagged snow-capped peaks of Iran visible across the water during the final cruise phase.
Kuwait City Skyline
The Kuwait Towers and the modern skyline are often visible on the right during a standard northern approach.
The right side is the 'star' for this route, especially for the views of the Iranian coast across the Persian Gulf. On afternoon flights, this side experiences the sunset, which creates stunning reflections off the water and highlights the texture of the Zagros Mountains. Use a polarized lens if taking photos to cut through the haze over the Gulf.
Chao Phraya Delta
Aerial view of the intricate river networks and the Gulf of Thailand coastline shortly after takeoff.
Mumbai Metropolis
Clear views of the dense urban sprawl and the iconic Marine Drive 'Queen's Necklace' if the flight path tracks south.
Rub' al Khali Fringes
The vast, golden dunes of the Arabian Peninsula as you cross from the sea into Saudi airspace.
Kuwaiti Oil Fields
The geometric patterns of oil infrastructure and desert pipelines visible during the descent into Kuwait.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides excellent views of the southern Indian coastline and the deep desert landscapes of the Arabian Peninsula. Keep an eye out for the unique circular irrigation patterns in the Saudi desert.
