Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai)?

Eastern Alps & Balkans
Aerial views of the snow-capped peaks of the Austrian Alps and the rugged terrain of the Balkan Peninsula shortly after departure.
Black Sea Coastline
Observation of the deep blue waters and the northern coastline of Turkey as the flight path skims the edge of the Black Sea.
Pontic Mountains
Dramatic views of the steep, forested mountain range in northern Turkey that runs parallel to the Black Sea coast.
Zagros Mountains
Spectacular sightings of the folded mountain belts and high plateaus of Western Iran, featuring unique geological salt domes.
Konkan Coastline
The final approach offers a stunning look at the lush greenery and rugged inlets of India's western coast before landing.
For day flights, the left side avoids direct southern glare. During the typical overnight BRU-BOM schedules, look out during the mid-flight hours for the moon reflecting off the Caspian or Black Seas. In winter, the snow cover on the Zagros mountains is a highlight around 5-6 hours into the journey.

Brussels & Benelux
Excellent views of the dense urban grid and industrial hubs of Belgium and Western Germany immediately after takeoff.
Anatolian Plateau
The vast, arid landscapes of central Turkey, characterized by volcanic peaks and high-altitude steppe.
Mesopotamian Plains
Distances views of the fertile valleys between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers as the flight crosses near the Iraq-Iran border.
Persian Gulf
Sightings of the busy shipping lanes, oil platforms, and turquoise coastal waters near the Strait of Hormuz.
Mumbai Skyline
Depending on the wind direction (landing from the West), the right side offers a panoramic view of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and the South Mumbai skyline.
The right side is ideal for night arrivals into BOM (Mumbai), as it often captures the dense, glowing sprawl of the city and the iconic Gateway of India area if the flight path loops south. Be aware of the strong sun during the first half of daytime flights, which can make the cabin quite warm.
