CCU → RPR
Which side of the plane to sit from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (Kolkata) to Raipur Airport (Raipur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side (Starboard) is generally preferred as it offers a more dramatic view of the Chota Nagpur Plateau's rugged terrain and the urban sprawl of Kolkata shortly after departure.

Kolkata Cityscape
A panoramic view of the 'City of Joy' including its dense urban architecture and historical landmarks during takeoff.
Chota Nagpur Plateau
Observe the dramatic transition from the flat plains to the rugged, hilly terrain of the plateau region.
Subarnarekha River
Catch glimpses of the golden-hued river cutting through the rocky landscapes of Jharkhand.
Sal Forests
Dense patches of deciduous forest, particularly around the Dalma Range area, visible during mid-flight.
Mahanadi Basin
As you approach Raipur, the intricate network of the Mahanadi river and its tributaries becomes visible.
The right side is exceptional for late afternoon flights, offering spectacular sunset views over the hilly horizon. For the best view of the Chota Nagpur Plateau, ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing. During monsoon (July-September), the landscape transforms into a vibrant, deep green.
