Which side of the plane to sit from Calicut International Airport (Calicut) to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai)?
Right Side of the Plane
While the left side provides a serene view of the Arabian Sea, the right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Western Ghats and the lush greenery of the Konkan coast.

Western Ghats
The rugged, UNESCO-listed mountain range runs parallel to the flight path with its iconic peaks.
Sahyadri Valleys
Deep canyons and verdant valleys that are particularly striking during and after the monsoon.
Netravati Estuary
The dramatic meeting point of the Netravati River and the sea near Mangalore.
Konkan Forests
Dense tropical canopy and red-soil terrain characteristic of the Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts.
Mumbai Skyline
As you bank for landing, enjoy a panoramic view of the vast urban sprawl and the skyscrapers of the financial capital.
The right side is superior for morning flights as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the mountains clearly. For the best experience, travel during the monsoon (June-September) or post-monsoon (October-November) when the Western Ghats are incredibly lush and dotted with seasonal waterfalls. Sitting ahead of the wing provides an unobstructed view of the terrain transition from Kerala to Maharashtra.

Arabian Sea
Infinite views of the deep blue horizon stretching out towards the Middle East.
Coastal Beaches
Bird's-eye views of the white sands of North Malabar and the Karnataka coastline.
Merchant Ships
Spot large cargo vessels and tankers queueing up for the major ports along the west coast.
Mumbai Shoreline
On final approach, catch views of the Arabian Sea meeting the urban edge of the city.
Choose the left side for afternoon or evening flights to experience stunning sunsets over the Arabian Sea. During the descent into Mumbai, if the flight approaches from the sea, you will have a clear view of the coastline and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. Use a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare and heat haze in your photos.
