Which side of the plane to sit from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (Kolkata) to Vir Savarkar International Airport (Port Blair)?
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.
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.
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.
