Goa Coastline
Aerial views of the Mandovi and Zuari rivers and the vibrant beaches of Goa.
Netravati River
The wide estuary where the Netravati river joins the Arabian Sea near Mangalore.
Kerala Backwaters

Trivandrum Cityscape

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to see the sun illuminating the Western Ghats. Post-monsoon months (September to November) offer the most vibrant green landscapes. Watch for the transition from the rugged Konkan terrain to the tropical Malabar coast.

Arabian Sea Horizon
An uninterrupted view of the deep blue sea, perfect for meditation and sunset viewing.
Maritime Activity
Large tankers and fishing vessels are often visible near the ports of Mangalore and Kochi.
Coastal Fringe
The thin white line of the Malabar coast meeting the sea is clearly visible on clear days.
The right side is best for evening departures (after 5:00 PM) to catch the sunset over the Arabian Sea. It provides a more tranquil, blue-toned view compared to the busy landscape on the left. During takeoff from Mumbai, this side often provides a brief view of the city's western coastline.
