BOM → IXC
Which side of the plane to sit from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai) to Chandigarh Airport (Chandigarh)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the Western Ghats to the ancient Aravalli folds, culminating in views of the Himalayan foothills.
Search flights from BOM to IXC
Western Ghats
Lush green ridges of the Sahyadri range visible shortly after the aircraft turns north.
Narmada River
A clear view of the massive river basin as the flight crosses from Maharashtra into Gujarat.
Aravalli Range
The ancient, jagged mountain folds stretching across Rajasthan towards Delhi.
Shivalik Hills
The magnificent first layer of the Himalayas appearing on the horizon during the approach to Chandigarh.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers. On clear days, especially post-monsoon (September-October), the distant snow-capped Himalayan peaks are visible to the North-East. Aim for a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Shivalik range during the final descent.

Mumbai Coastline
Bird's eye view of the Arabian Sea and the dense urban architecture of the Western Suburbs during takeoff.
Gujarat Salt Pans
Glittering geometric patterns of salt evaporation ponds near the coastal regions of Gujarat.
Thar Desert Edge
Vast stretches of arid landscape and sand dunes as the flight passes over western Rajasthan.
Punjab Plains
The green and golden agricultural grids of India's breadbasket visible during the descent.
Select the left side for morning departures to avoid the sun's glare. It is the best side for viewing the Mumbai skyline if the flight departs from Runway 27. During the winter, expect some haze over the northern plains which can obscure ground details.
