Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Andaman archipelago, including the famous Havelock and Neil islands, as the aircraft begins its descent into Port Blair.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌳

Sundarbans Delta

Aerial view of the world's largest mangrove forest and its intricate network of tidal waterways shortly after takeoff from Kolkata.

🌊

Bay of Bengal Crossing

A vast expanse of deep blue water that transitions into stunning shades of turquoise as you approach the islands.

🏝️

Havelock & Neil Islands

Iconic views of white sand beaches and coral reefs surrounding Swaraj Dweep and Shaheed Dweep during the descent phase.

⚓

Port Blair Harbor

A clear view of the bustling harbor, naval vessels, and the historic town of Port Blair just before touchdown.

🌋

Barren Island (Distant)

On very clear days with specific flight paths, the silhouette of South Asia's only active volcano may be visible far to the east.

Book a window seat on the left (typically 'A' seats) for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This provides the best lighting for photographing the turquoise coral reefs. Avoid rows 12-20 to ensure your view isn't blocked by the wing.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🚢

Hooghly River Mouth

Views of large cargo ships navigating the silt-heavy waters of the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta exit.

🌅

Oceanic Sunset

On evening flights, this side provides an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the open horizon of the Bay of Bengal.

⛰️

Mount Harriet

Views of the highest peak in the South Andamans and the lush greenery of the surrounding National Park during the final turn.

☁️

Tropical Cloudscapes

Massive, towering cumulus clouds are common over this route, offering dramatic scenery during the monsoon and post-monsoon months.

Choose the right side (typically 'F' seats) for late afternoon departures to enjoy the sunset. During the final approach, keep your camera ready for the dense tropical rainforest canopy of the South Andaman hills.
