Which side of the plane to sit from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (Kolkata) to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers superior views of the central Indian river systems, the rugged Satpura mountain range, and a more dramatic perspective of Mumbai's skyline and the Sanjay Gandhi National Park during the standard northern approach.
Search flights from CCU to BOM
Chota Nagpur Plateau
Rugged terrain and dense forest patches of Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh visible shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
Narmada & Tapti Valleys
Spot the distinctive parallel flow of the Narmada and Tapti rivers as they carve through central India toward the Arabian Sea.
Satpura Range
Detailed views of the ridgelines and plateaus of the Satpura mountain system in Madhya Pradesh.
Sanjay Gandhi National Park
A rare view of the vast green forest located right within Mumbai's urban limits just before landing.
Bandra-Worli Sea Link
If the flight approaches from the North (Runway 09/27), you can often see the iconic sea link and the Mumbai coastline.
For late afternoon flights, this is the 'cool' side of the plane, away from the direct sun. It offers the best chance to see the sunset over the Arabian Sea as you approach Mumbai. In winter, look for the 'white haze' over the Indo-Gangetic plains earlier in the flight.

Mahanadi River Basin
Catch glimpses of the wide, winding Mahanadi river and the sprawling Hirakud reservoir early in the flight.
Deccan Traps
View the ancient volcanic basalt formations and flat-topped hills characteristic of the Maharashtra plateau.
Navi Mumbai & Ports
During the final descent, see the massive Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust and the developing infrastructure of Navi Mumbai.
Western Ghats
Experience the sharp rise of the Sahyadri mountains, which look particularly vibrant and green during the monsoon season.
On this side, you will face south. During mid-day flights, expect significant sun glare which can make photography difficult. However, for late-night arrivals, this side provides an excellent view of the glittering lights of the southern suburbs and the coastline.
