Which side of the plane to sit from Cairo International Airport (Cairo) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Sinai Peninsula, the dazzling lights of the Persian Gulf metropolises, and a better angle of the Bangkok skyline during the standard approach.
Search flights from CAI to BKK
Sinai Peninsula
Dramatic desert peaks and the deep blue of the Gulf of Suez immediately after departure.
Persian Gulf Hubs
Spectacular aerial views of Dubai, Sharjah, and the UAE coastline during the mid-flight segment.
Zagros Mountains
The southern fringes of the rugged Iranian mountain range provide textured shadows at dusk.
Indo-Gangetic Plain
The vast, fertile agricultural heartland of Northern India with its dense network of rivers.
Bangkok Skyline
Bright lights and the winding Chao Phraya River on the final descent into Suvarnabhumi.
Opt for a window seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed photos. On night flights, the Persian Gulf cities provide spectacular light shows. During the day, the descent into Bangkok from the west often favors the left for seeing the city center. For the best lighting, morning departures provide the best sun positioning for the left side.

Red Sea Coast
Stunning turquoise reefs and deep blue waters along the Egyptian and Saudi Arabian coasts.
Empty Quarter
The mesmerizing, endless orange sand dunes of the Rub' al Khali in Saudi Arabia.
Mumbai Coast
Busy shipping lanes and the sprawling coastline of Western India as you cross the subcontinent.
Andaman Sea
Emerald islands and white sand beaches visible as you enter Southeast Asian airspace.
Gulf of Thailand
Thousands of glowing green lights from squid fishing boats visible at night near the coast.
This side is ideal for sunrise views as the plane heads east. Watch for the stark contrast between the desert and the sea over the Arabian Peninsula. Be aware that seasonal monsoon clouds may obscure views over India from June to September. At night, look for the unique green glow of fishing fleets in the Gulf of Thailand.
