Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for this long-haul journey, offering views of the South China Sea, the Irrawaddy Delta, and a spectacular approach into Dubai World Central, featuring the Palm Jebel Ali and the sprawling desert landscape of the UAE.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🇧🇳

Brunei Coastline

Initial views of the pristine rainforests and the Kampong Ayer water village upon departure.

🏙️

Ho Chi Minh City

The dense urban sprawl and winding Saigon River if the flight path tracks across Southern Vietnam.

🌾

Irrawaddy Delta

The massive, intricate network of rivers and agricultural land at the mouth of Myanmar's great river.

🇮🇳

Deccan Plateau

Expansive views of the Indian interior, featuring diverse topography and large reservoir systems.

🌴

Palm Jebel Ali

A stunning view of the massive man-made palm island located just north of DWC during the final descent.

🏗️

Dubai Marina Skyline

Distant but clear views of the world's tallest residential skyscrapers as the plane banks toward Al Maktoum.

Select a window seat on the right for the best arrival experience. As you approach DWC, you are likely to see the Palm Jebel Ali and the Expo 2020 site. Daytime flights are best for seeing the stark contrast of the desert dunes against the blue Persian Gulf. For night flights, the right side provides a sparkling view of the densely populated Indian cities and the glowing Dubai megalopolis.

🌊

South China Sea

Deep blue waters and remote island chains shortly after departing Brunei's coastal waters.

🏝️

Andaman Sea Islands

Bird's-eye views of the tropical archipelagos off the coast of Southern Thailand and Myanmar.

⛰️

Western Ghats

The lush, green mountain range along India's western coast as the flight transitions to the Arabian Sea.

🏜️

Omani Coastline

Rugged, arid cliffs and turquoise waters of the Gulf of Oman before entering UAE airspace.

The left side is ideal for catching the sunset if flying on an afternoon departure. It offers a more serene view of the open ocean and the dramatic transition from the lush tropics of SE Asia to the starker landscapes of the Middle East.
