BLR → DXB
Which side of the plane to sit from Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore) to Dubai International Airport (Dubai)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side (A seats) is generally superior as it offers a more consistent view of the Western Ghats upon departure from India and the iconic Dubai skyline, including the Burj Khalifa, during the most common landing patterns at DXB.
Western Ghats
Lush, cloud-draped mountain ranges visible shortly after takeoff from BLR.
Konkan Coastline
The beautiful transition where the Western Ghats meet the Arabian Sea.
Arabian Sea Crossing
Vast turquoise waters with occasional sightings of massive cargo ships.
Oman Mountains
The rugged, dark peaks of the Hajar Mountains as you enter the Arabian Peninsula.
Dubai Skyline
Breathtaking views of the Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai during the standard approach to Runway 30L/R.
For the best experience, choose an evening flight (departing 4 PM - 6 PM) to catch the sunset over the Arabian Sea. During the final 20 minutes of flight, keep your window shade up and look for the Burj Khalifa, which usually appears on the left as the aircraft lines up with the coast for landing.
Deccan Plateau
Intricate patterns of agricultural land and rural Indian villages.
Mumbai Peninsula
Distant views of the Mumbai skyline if the flight path tracks slightly North.
Musandam Fjords
Dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise inlets of the northern tip of Oman.
The World Islands
The artificial archipelago shaped like a world map visible just before landing.
Port Rashid
A massive industrial and cruise hub located at the edge of old Dubai.
The Right Side (K seats) is excellent for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare. If the wind dictates a landing from the North (Runway 12L/R), this side actually provides the better view of the city skyline and the Frame. Watch for the unique geography of the Musandam Peninsula about 30 minutes before landing.
