Indochina Peninsula
Aerial vistas of the lush tropical coastlines and river deltas as you transit away from Southeast Asia.
Central India
A bird's-eye view of the diverse agricultural patterns and sprawling inland cities of the Indian heartland.
Al Hajar Mountains
Dramatic, jagged mountain ridges visible upon entering the Arabian Peninsula over the Sultanate of Oman.
Arabian Desert
Sweeping views of the golden dunes and vast, arid ‘Empty Quarter’ regions of the Saudi Arabian interior.
Makkah Province
On the standard descent path, catch a glimpse of the iconic Abraj Al-Bait Clock Tower and the outskirts of the Holy City.
Choose the right side specifically for the 'Makkah view' which is a highlight of this route into Jeddah. For the best experience, try to book a daytime flight to appreciate the stark contrast between the green Southeast Asian landscape and the red-gold sands of the Arabian Peninsula. Afternoon flights may experience some glare on this side, so a window shade may be necessary until the descent begins.

South China Sea
Crystal clear turquoise waters and remote coral atolls during the first leg of the journey after departing Brunei.
Andaman Islands
Spectacular aerial views of the remote, forested islands scattered across the deep blue of the Bay of Bengal.
Konkan Coast
The scenic transition where the Indian Western Ghats meet the Arabian Sea, featuring rugged shorelines and beaches.
Arabian Sunset
If flying on an afternoon schedule, this side provides a stunning, unobstructed view of the sunset over the sea horizon.
Jeddah Corniche
Views of the vibrant Red Sea coastline and the modern urban development of the city's northern districts during arrival.
The left side is ideal for spotting the Andaman Islands mid-flight and avoiding the direct southern sun for much of the journey. During the final approach into Jeddah, keep your camera ready for the King Fahd's Fountain if the flight path tracks along the coast; its massive plume is a distinct landmark even from high altitudes.
