Which side of the plane to sit from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (Kolkata) to Biju Patnaik Airport (Bhubaneswar)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior perspective of the Bay of Bengal coastline, the intricate Hooghly river system, and the sprawling Mahanadi River delta as you approach Bhubaneswar.
Hooghly River Meanders
Spectacular aerial views of the massive Hooghly River snaking through the southern delta region right after takeoff.
Bay of Bengal Coastline
A clear view of the coastline including the popular beach stretches of Digha and Mandarmani in West Bengal.
Haldia Port Complex
Spot the industrial landscape and large cargo ships docked at the major Haldia maritime hub.
Mahanadi Delta
An intricate network of distributaries and lush green wetlands where the Mahanadi River meets the sea.
Opt for an early morning flight to see the sun rising over the Bay of Bengal. Sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of the river deltas. During the post-monsoon months (October-November), the greenery of the Odisha plains is exceptionally vibrant.
Howrah Urban Sprawl
Dense urban landscape of Howrah and the western suburbs of Kolkata immediately following departure.
Kharagpur Railway Hub
Distant views of one of India's largest railway settlements and industrial corridors.
Mahanadi River Crossing
A broad view of the Mahanadi River's wide sandy bed near the historic city of Cuttack.
Cuttack Cityscape
The 'Silver City' located on a peninsula between the Mahanadi and Kathajodi rivers just before landing.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun reflecting off the water. Look out for the massive river bridges near Cuttack as the aircraft begins its final descent into Bhubaneswar.
