Which side of the plane to sit from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (Kolkata) to Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the clear winner, offering a spectacular sequence of landmarks including the Hooghly River, the massive Chilika Lake, and the rugged terrain of the Eastern Ghats.
Hooghly River Meanders
Immediately after takeoff, see the winding path of the river and the dense urban fabric of Kolkata.
Chilika Lake
Asia's largest brackish water lagoon is clearly visible mid-flight with its unique pear-shaped shoreline.
Eastern Ghats Range
Rugged, forested hills and deep valleys of the mountain range as the plane enters South India.
Pulicat Lake
A secondary large lagoon located on the border of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu near the flight's end.
Bangalore Outskirts
Views of the Nandi Hills and the rapid urban expansion of North Bangalore during the descent.
This side is generally cooler as it faces away from the direct sun for much of the day on this South-bound route. It is the best choice for photographers wanting to capture the distinct geographic features of the Odisha and Andhra coastlines without heavy window glare.
Bay of Bengal Coastline
Continuous views of the curving coastline where the land meets the deep blue waters of the bay.
Godavari River Delta
A stunning aerial view of the fertile, green delta network and its numerous distributaries.
Visakhapatnam Coast
Visible shipping vessels and the industrial landscape of one of India's largest ports.
Oceanic Sunrise
On early morning flights, enjoy the spectacular reflection of the sun rising over the eastern horizon.
Select a seat on this side for morning departures to catch the sunrise, but be aware of intense glare. During the monsoon (June-September), this side offers dramatic views of cloud formations building up over the sea.
