Which side of the plane to sit from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai) to Jodhpur Airport (Jodhpur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views, featuring the dense Mumbai skyline during departure and the spectacular Mehrangarh Fort and Umaid Bhawan Palace during the descent into Jodhpur.
Mumbai Skyscrapers
Breathtaking views of the city's vertical growth and the sprawling Sanjay Gandhi National Park.
Western Ghats
The rugged, green-capped ridges of the Sahyadri range visible on the eastern horizon.
Mehrangarh Fort
A stunning aerial perspective of the massive 15th-century fort rising above the Blue City.
Umaid Bhawan Palace
One of the world's largest private residences, clearly visible during the final landing phase.
The right side is the 'landmark side' for this route. For the best view of Jodhpur's monuments, sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed downward view during the banking turns. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the sandstone architecture of Jodhpur.
Arabian Sea Coastline
Striking views of the Mumbai coastline and the northern suburbs during the initial climb.
Gujarat Salt Pans
Glistening geometric white patches of salt evaporation ponds near the Gulf of Khambhat.
Thar Desert Horizon
The vast, arid expanse of the desert stretching toward the Pakistani border to the west.
Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the desert. It is also better for viewing the coastal industrial hubs of Gujarat. Ensure your window is clean to capture the subtle color shifts in the desert sand.
