New Town & Rajarhat
The modern, planned sector of Kolkata with its distinct architecture and parks visible right after departure.
Sundarbans Fringes
Deep green patches of the world's largest mangrove forest visible on the southern horizon during peak altitude.
The Mighty Padma
Spectacular views of one of the world's widest rivers, featuring massive shifting sandbars (chars) and river traffic.
Buriganga River
The bustling waterway defining Old Dhaka, packed with ferries and traditional boats just before landing.
Dhaka Skyline
A panoramic view of the core city center, including the Motijheel and Ramna districts during the final turn.
The Right Side is superior for seeing the scale of the delta's rivers. Book a window seat away from the wing for the best photography of the Padma River. Late afternoon flights provide beautiful golden hour reflections on the water-logged landscape. Keep your camera ready throughout as the flight duration is very short.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the distinct change in topography and field sizes as you cross the international border. On rare, exceptionally clear winter days, look far north for a glimpse of the Himalayan foothills.
