BOM → DIU
Which side of the plane to sit from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai) to Diu Airport (Diu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a panoramic view of the Western Indian coastline, including the Mumbai suburbs, the Vasai Creek, and the historic landscape of the Diu peninsula upon arrival.
Mumbai Metropolitan Area
Incredible views of Juhu Beach, the Versova coastline, and the dense urban sprawl of North Mumbai.
Vasai Creek and Mangroves
Detailed views of the intricate network of creeks, salt pans, and protected mangrove forests north of the city.
Daman Coastline
Pass over the coastal enclave of Daman, visible with its distinct industrial and residential clusters.
Diu Fort
A stunning top-down view of the massive 16th-century Portuguese fortification surrounded by sea on three sides.
Kathiawar Peninsula
The rugged and rocky southern tip of Gujarat's Saurashtra region becomes visible during the descent.
The right side is significantly more scenic for this short hop. Sit here during morning flights to keep the sun behind you. Watch closely during the final 10 minutes for the Diu Fort and the bridge connecting the island to the mainland.
Arabian Sea Expanse
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Arabian Sea shortly after departure from Mumbai.
Shipping Lanes
Spot large cargo ships and tankers navigating the busy maritime routes towards Mumbai Port.
Ghoghla Beach
Aerial view of the golden sands of Ghoghla Beach as the aircraft maneuvers for landing.
Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the horizon. It offers a more serene, minimalist view focused on the ocean and maritime activity.
