BRU → DEL
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side (Port) is the clear winner for this route, offering spectacular views of the snow-capped Caucasus Mountains, the vastness of the Caspian Sea, and the rugged northern fringes of the Hindu Kush range.
Central European Plains
Aerial views of the densely populated urban clusters of Germany and Austria shortly after takeoff.
The Black Sea
A long transit over the deep blue waters of the Black Sea, often hugging the northern coastline.
Greater Caucasus Range
Stunning vistas of Europe's highest peaks, including the majestic, double-coned Mount Elbrus.
Caspian Sea
The northern basin of the world's largest inland body of water, often showing unique turquoise hues.
Kyzylkum Desert
The stark, reddish-sand landscapes of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan providing a dramatic color palette.
The Hindu Kush
Rugged, high-altitude mountain terrain as the flight paths toward the Indian subcontinent.
For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Caucasus Mountains, which appear roughly 3.5 to 4 hours into the flight. Since many flights on this route are overnight, the left side will catch the first light of dawn over Central Asia, making for incredible sunrise photography.
Carpathian Mountains
The sweeping arc of the mountains through Romania and Eastern Europe.
Iranian Plateau
Incredible geological formations and salt deserts of Iran if the flight takes a southerly track.
Thar Desert
The golden sands of the Great Indian Desert visible during the descent into Delhi.
Delhi NCR
The massive, sprawling urban landscape of New Delhi and its satellite cities during final approach.
Qutub Minar Area
Depending on the runway approach, historic landmarks in South Delhi may be visible during landing.
The right side (Starboard) is the 'shade side' during the morning portion of the flight, which is ideal if you prefer to sleep or avoid screen glare. During the final 30 minutes of the flight, keep your camera ready for the vast urban sprawl of the Delhi National Capital Region, which is particularly impressive at night or during the hazy golden hour.
