Which side of the plane to sit from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai) to Cochin International Airport (Kochi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a breathtaking vantage point of the UNESCO World Heritage Western Ghats and the iconic Kerala backwaters upon descent.
Western Ghats
Dramatic mountain ridges and deep valleys of the Sahyadri range running parallel to the route.
Sharavati River Valley
Lush river systems carving through the highlands of Karnataka, visible during mid-flight.
Vembanad Lake
The massive expanse of India's longest lake appearing as you approach the Kochi airfield.
Kerala Backwaters
A stunning mosaic of green paddy fields and silver water canals during the final landing phase.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind the aircraft, perfectly illuminating the mountain peaks. From June to October, look for hundreds of seasonal waterfalls cascading down the Ghats.
Arabian Sea Coast
A continuous view of the meeting point between the deep blue sea and the golden Konkan sands.
Goan Shoreline
Recognizable stretches of North and South Goa's famous beaches like Calangute and Colva.
Netrani Island
A tiny, heart-shaped island off the coast of Murudeshwar that stands out in the turquoise water.
Kochi Port & Shipyard
Massive tankers and the historic landscape of Fort Kochi visible during the final banking maneuvers.
Choose the right side for evening flights to witness spectacular sunsets over the Arabian Sea. This side provides a clearer view of the coastal geography and the white surf hitting the rocky Konkan cliffs.
