Which side of the plane to sit from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai) to Biju Patnaik Airport (Bhubaneswar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this trans-peninsular route, primarily due to the spectacular views of the Chilika Lake and the Bay of Bengal coastline during the descent into Bhubaneswar.
Search flights from BOM to BBI
Mumbai Coastline
Stunning views of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and the South Mumbai skyline immediately after takeoff.
Deccan Plateau
Geometric patterns of agricultural land and the unique basaltic rock formations of the Maharashtra hinterland.
Chilika Lake
The crown jewel of the flight: Asia's largest brackish water lagoon, visible as a massive blue expanse during descent.
Dhauli Shanti Stupa
The iconic white peace pagoda on a hillock near Bhubaneswar is often visible on the final approach.
Choose a window seat behind the wing on the right side. On the final approach to BBI, keep a sharp eye out for the shimmering waters of Chilika Lake; it is most vibrant on clear winter afternoons. Early morning flights offer a beautiful golden glow over the Eastern Ghats.

A clear view of the 'Orange City' and the geographic center of India mid-way through the flight.
Mahanadi River Basin
The expansive, braided channels of the Mahanadi river as it flows toward the Bay of Bengal.
Simlipal Foothills
Dense forest patches and rolling hills of Northern Odisha visible during the start of the descent.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Central Indian landscape without direct glare. This side offers better views of the rugged terrain of the Satpura range in the distance.
