Which side of the plane to sit from Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore) to Muscat International Airport (Muscat)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a stunning panorama of the Al Hajar Mountains during the descent into Muscat and offers a better view of the northern Western Ghats and the Goa coastline shortly after takeoff from Bangalore.
Nandi Hills
Early views of the ancient hill fortress and popular trekking spot located just north of the airport.
Western Ghats
The lush green peaks of the Sahyadri range, particularly beautiful during the monsoon season.
Goa Shoreline
Distant but visible views of the famous beaches and river estuaries of the Goa region.
Al Hajar Mountains
The dramatic, jagged peaks of the Omani mountain range which turn shades of purple and gold in the light.
Muscat Cityscape
A unique view of the white-washed buildings of Muscat and the Mutrah Corniche during the final approach.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the right side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The highlight of this route is the Al Hajar mountain range; start looking out approximately 30 minutes before landing for the most rugged terrain.
Bangalore Urban Sprawl
A bird's eye view of the rapidly expanding electronic city and the southern outskirts of Bangalore.
Karnataka Coastline
Clear views of the Mangalore and Udupi shores as the flight departs the Indian landmass.
Arabian Sea Horizon
The vast expanse of the deep blue Arabian Sea, often dotted with cargo ships on international shipping lanes.
Omani Coastal Cliffs
The rugged and arid limestone cliffs of the eastern Omani coast as you approach the peninsula.
The left side is preferable for evening flights to witness a spectacular sunset over the Arabian Sea. However, during the approach to Muscat, this side often faces the open sea rather than the dramatic mountain scenery.
