Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic mountain scenery, including the folded ridges of the Zagros Mountains and a breathtaking panoramic approach over the Swiss Alps into Zurich.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏖️

Gujarat Coastline

Intricate salt pans and the unique geography of the Rann of Kutch as you leave Indian airspace.

🏔️

Zagros Mountains

Stunning, multi-colored folded rock formations across Iran that provide some of the best geological views globally.

🌊

Black Sea Coast

Contrast between the lush green Pontic Mountains of northern Turkey and the dark waters of the Black Sea.

🥨

Danube River

The winding path of Europe's second-longest river as it flows through Eastern Europe and Hungary.

❄️

Austrian & Swiss Alps

Spectacular close-up views of jagged snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys during the final hour of flight.

🏘️

Lake Constance

Views of the 'Bodensee' and the tri-border area of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland on final approach.

The right side (facing North/East) is ideal for photography as it remains in the shade for most of the westbound journey, preventing glare. For the ZRH approach, the right side often gets a superior view of the Swiss plateau and Alpine foothills.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Mumbai Skyline

Aerial view of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and the sprawling Mumbai coastline immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Gulf of Oman

Deep azure waters as the flight transitions from the Arabian Sea toward the Middle Eastern landmass.

🏜️

Arabian Peninsula

Views of the vast northern deserts and the rugged landscapes of the United Arab Emirates or Oman.

⛰️

Taurus Mountains

The southern limestone peaks of Turkey, often dusted with snow during winter months.

🏔️

Distant Alps

A southern perspective of the European Alps as the aircraft begins its descent into Switzerland.

The left side (facing South/West) will experience significant sun glare during daytime flights from Mumbai. Keep the window shade partially down to manage heat, but look out over the Mediterranean and Balkan regions for clear weather views.
