Which side of the plane to sit from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai) to Vadodara Airport (Baroda)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Mumbai skyline upon departure, the foothills of the Western Ghats, and a better angle of the Narmada River crossing near Bharuch.
Mumbai Skyline
Stunning views of the Hiranandani towers, Powai Lake, and the dense urban sprawl shortly after takeoff.
Western Ghats
The distant, rugged silhouettes of the Sahyadri mountain range running parallel to the flight path.
Vaitarna River
A beautiful crossing of the Vaitarna River and its various tributaries north of Mumbai.
Surat Cityscape
A bird's eye view of one of the world's fastest-growing cities and its diamond processing hubs.
Narmada River
The iconic and extremely wide crossing of the Narmada River near the historic city of Bharuch.
Vibrant Industrial Hubs
Clear views of the massive chemical and textile manufacturing plants between Vapi and Ankleshwar.
The right side is unbeatable for landmarks. For the best experience, book an early morning flight (6:00 AM - 8:00 AM) to see the sun rising over the Western Ghats. During the monsoon season (June-September), this side offers breathtaking views of waterfalls in the distance and lush green landscapes.
Mumbai West Coast
Aerial views of Juhu Beach, Versova, and the northern suburbs of the city along the Arabian Sea.
Hazira Port
The massive industrial port complex and liquefied natural gas terminals near the mouth of the Tapi River.
Gulf of Khambhat
Views of the vast tidal flats and the silty waters where major Gujarat rivers meet the sea.
Tapi Estuary
The wide, meandering mouth of the Tapi River as it flows past Surat into the gulf.
Gujarat Plains
Expansive views of the flat, fertile agricultural landscape and salt pans characteristic of the region.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare from the east. This side is excellent for spotting the interplay of land and water along the Gujarat coastline. Keep an eye out for the distinct color changes in the water near the river estuaries.
