Which side of the plane to sit from Barisal Airport (Barisal) to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the massive Padma River crossing and the iconic Old Dhaka skyline during the descent.
Kirtonkhola River
Aerial view of Barisal's main waterway bustling with traditional launches and cargo vessels immediately after takeoff.
Padma River & Bridge
A magnificent view of the wide Padma River; you can often spot the massive Padma Bridge to the northwest.
Arial Beel
One of the largest and most important ancient wetlands in the country, appearing as a vast patchwork of water and greenery.
Old Dhaka & Buriganga
The dense urban fabric of the historic city center and the winding Buriganga River visible during the final approach.
Book a window seat on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset reflecting off the Padma River. Since this is a very short flight (approx. 30-40 mins), keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff as the altitude remains low, providing excellent detail of the delta.
Meghna River Confluence
Views of the massive Meghna River to the east, which is one of the widest rivers in the world.
Narayanganj Industrial Hub
A bird's-eye view of the busy river ports, textile factories, and the industrial backbone of the region.
Deltaic Farmland
An intricate geometric pattern of rice paddies and jute fields that define the Bangladeshi countryside.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh sun glare from the west. Look for the distinctive tall chimneys of brick kilns scattered across the landscape, which are particularly prominent during the dry winter season (November to February).
