Which side of the plane to sit from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai) to Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (Lucknow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Mumbai skyline immediately after takeoff, followed by the rugged terrain of the Satpura and Vindhya ranges and a clear perspective of the Gomti river during the descent into Lucknow.
Mumbai Skyline
A dense urban tapestry featuring the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and the high-rises of South Mumbai shortly after takeoff.
Vindhya & Satpura Ranges
The rugged, ancient rock formations and dry deciduous forests of the Central Indian highlands.
Narmada River
The distinct, winding path of the Narmada river as it cuts through the valleys of Madhya Pradesh.
Lucknow Heritage
Panoramic views of the Gomti river and the architectural landmarks of the 'City of Nawabs' during final approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun will be behind you, providing better lighting for photography. Look out for the changing colors of the soil from the dark basalt of the Deccan to the light alluvium of the Gangetic plains. Ensure you are seated ahead of or behind the wing for the best view of the Mumbai cityscape.
Arabian Sea Coastline
Breathtaking views of the Mumbai coastline and the vast expanse of the Arabian Sea during the initial climb.
Western Ghats
Dramatic cliffs and lush green peaks of the Sahyadri range, particularly stunning during the monsoon season.
Godavari River
Aerial view of the upper reaches of the Godavari river winding through the Maharashtra plateau near Nashik.
Sunset Horizons
On evening flights, this side provides an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the western horizon.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness spectacular sunsets. During the monsoon (June-September), this side offers the best views of the mist-covered Western Ghats. Avoid window seats directly over the wing to ensure a clear view of the river systems.
