BLR → VNS
Which side of the plane to sit from Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore) to Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport (Varanasi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is slightly preferred as it often provides a clear view of the iconic Prayagraj Sangam (confluence of Ganga and Yamuna) during the descent into Varanasi, alongside better views of the Satpura range.

Prayagraj Sangam
The spectacular confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and mythical Saraswati rivers, clearly visible during the descent.
Choose a seat ahead of or well behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Prayagraj confluence. If flying in the morning, this side avoids the harsh glare of the rising sun, making it perfect for photography of the central Indian plateaus.
