Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side (Starboard) is the winner for this route, primarily for the spectacular approach into Visakhapatnam. As the plane descends, passengers on the right are treated to sweeping views of the Bay of Bengal, the intricate Vizag Harbour, and the iconic Dolphin's Nose hillock.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Bangalore Periphery

Aerial view of the rapidly expanding tech parks and residential layouts on the northern edges of the city.

🌊

Bay of Bengal Coastline

As the flight nears the destination, the deep blue of the ocean meets the golden sands of the Andhra coast.

⚓

Visakhapatnam Port

A bird's-eye view of one of India's major ports, featuring cargo ships, tankers, and naval vessels.

⛰️

Dolphin's Nose

The most famous landmark of Vizag, a massive rock formation shaped like a dolphin's snout jutting into the sea.

🏖️

RK Beach & Cityscape

A stunning panoramic view of the city's main promenade and the urban skyline nestled between hills and the sea.

For the best experience, choose a window seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline. During the landing phase, the plane often performs a loop over the sea; this is the prime time to photograph the harbor. Evening flights provide a beautiful view of the city lights reflecting off the Bay of Bengal.

🚜

North Bangalore Farmlands

Immediate views of the red-soil agricultural patches and vineyards surrounding Devanahalli upon takeoff.

⛰️

Nallamala Range Fringes

Mid-flight views of the dense forest covers and rugged ridges of the Eastern Ghats slicing through Andhra Pradesh.

💧

Somasila Reservoir

A massive body of water on the Penna River that glitters intensely during midday flights.

🌳

Kambalakonda Wildlife Sanctuary

Lush green hilly terrain visible on the left just before the aircraft aligns with the runway at VTZ.

The left side is best during morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It offers a more consistent view of the varying topography of the Deccan Plateau and the interior Eastern Ghats. Watch for the change in landscape from the dry plains of Rayalaseema to the greener coastal belts.
