Search flights from BLR to BBI
Bay of Bengal Coastline
As the flight nears Odisha, you can often see the white surf of the coast meeting the turquoise waters of the bay.
Godavari Delta
A vast, lush green expanse where the Godavari river splits into multiple distributaries before entering the sea.
Chilika Lake
The highlight of the trip; India's largest coastal lagoon is clearly visible with its unique pear-shaped shoreline.
Puri Beachline
On clear days, the long stretch of golden sand near the holy city of Puri can be spotted just before the final turn.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right side (Seat F) and opt for a morning flight to have the sun behind you. Chilika Lake usually appears about 15 minutes before touchdown. Keep your camera ready as the plane often banks right near the coast, offering a perfect angle of the lagoon.

Nandi Hills
Visible shortly after takeoff from BLR, offering a glimpse of the popular trekking peaks and surrounding plateau.
Eastern Ghats
Dramatic views of the rugged, ancient mountain ranges and forest reserves of Andhra Pradesh.
Krishna River
The flight crosses this major river system, providing views of the deep blue water cutting through the Deccan terrain.
Bhubaneswar Outskirts
Aerial views of the expanding urban landscape and historic temple structures as the plane prepares for landing.
The left side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Deccan Plateau. During monsoon season (June–September), this side offers dramatic views of cloud formations over the inland hills. Sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the river crossings.
