Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a scenic perspective of the Arabian Sea coastline and the expansive estuaries where major rivers like the Narmada and Tapi meet the Gulf of Khambhat.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Mumbai Shoreline

Panoramic views of the Arabian Sea and the Mumbai suburbs immediately after takeoff from BOM.

🌉

Vasai Creek

A major creek separating Mumbai from the mainland, featuring railway bridges and salt pans.

🏭

Vapi & Daman

The industrial corridor and the coastal enclave of Daman are visible as the flight heads north.

💧

Narmada River

The massive estuary near Bharuch where the Narmada river empties into the sea.

🏙️

Surat Coastal View

The outskirts of the Diamond City and the Tapi River winding towards the coastline.

Choose a window seat on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Arabian Sea. This side is also excellent for spotting the distinct change from the lush Konkan coast to the more industrial landscapes of southern Gujarat. Keep an eye out for the Golden Bridge over the Narmada River near Bharuch.

Right Side Highlights
6.4
🦩

Thane Creek

View of the Flamingo Sanctuary and the dense mangroves bordering the eastern edge of Mumbai.

🏞️

Tansa & Vaitarna Lakes

Important freshwater reservoirs and dams nestled in the greenery north of Mumbai.

⛰️

Western Ghats Foothills

The distant rolling hills of the Sahyadri range visible on clear days to the east.

🏢

Vadodara Cityscape

The urban sprawl of Vadodara (Baroda) including the Mahi River crossing.

🛤️

Sabarmati River

The iconic riverfront of Ahmedabad visible during the final descent and approach into AMD.

The right side is best for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers better views of the inland reservoirs and the Western Ghats foothills. During the final approach into Ahmedabad, this side often provides a clearer view of the Sabarmati Riverfront development and the city's historic core.
