Which side of the plane to sit from Calicut International Airport (Calicut) to Kuwait International Airport (Kuwait)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the lush Malabar coastline during departure and dynamic scenes of the Persian Gulf's maritime activity and UAE skylines during the cruise.
Malabar Coastline
Stunning aerial views of Kerala's lush green backwaters and coconut groves during takeoff from CCJ.
Emirati Skylines
Distant but recognizable views of Dubai's Burj Khalifa and Sharjah's high-rises on clear days.
Persian Gulf Activity
Observe a busy maritime lane with numerous oil tankers, cargo ships, and offshore platforms.
Bubiyan Island
Kuwait's largest uninhabited island, featuring unique tidal channels and wetlands near the destination.
Zagros Mountains
On exceptionally clear days, the hazy, snow-capped peaks of Iran are visible across the Gulf.
This is the best side for morning departures as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Indian coast and the Persian Gulf perfectly. During the mid-flight, look north to spot the busy shipping lanes of the Strait of Hormuz. Ensure your window is clean for photography of the Kerala coastline immediately after departure.
Arabian Sea Expanse
The deep blue waters of the Arabian Sea dominate the first half of the journey.
Al Hajar Mountains
Dramatic, rugged peaks of Northern Oman visible as the flight enters the Arabian Peninsula.
Ad-Dahna Desert
Vast stretches of reddish sand dunes extending across the Saudi Arabian interior.
Kuwait City Skyline
A clear view of the iconic Kuwait Towers and modern skyscrapers during the final approach.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun over the water. It offers the best views of the Omani coastline and the vast desert landscapes of Saudi Arabia as you near Kuwait. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from blue water to the golden sands of the peninsula.
