CGP → AUH
Which side of the plane to sit from Shah Amanat International Airport (Chittagong) to Abu Dhabi International Airport (Abu Dhabi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this westward route as it avoids the harsh southern sun glare while offering views of the Sunderbans delta at takeoff and the iconic landmarks of Abu Dhabi, including Yas Island, during the descent.

The Sunderbans
The world's largest mangrove forest and the intricate delta system of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers.
Rann of Kutch
The vast, white salt marshes of Gujarat appearing as a shimmering crystalline expanse near the Indian border.
Gulf of Oman
Deep blue waters contrasting with the golden desert sands as you approach the Arabian Peninsula.
Yas Island
Perfect views of the Yas Marina Circuit, Ferrari World's iconic red roof, and the Yas Waterworld complex.
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque
Depending on the wind direction and runway at AUH, you may see the gleaming white domes and minarets of the Grand Mosque.
Sit on the right side to enjoy the best views of the Bengal delta shortly after takeoff. For evening flights, this side offers a spectacular view of the sunset over the Arabian Sea. During the descent into AUH, most approach patterns pass directly over or north of Yas Island, making the right side ideal for seeing Abu Dhabi's modern architecture.

Aerial view of the winding river meeting the Bay of Bengal immediately after departure from Chittagong.
Western Ghats
Dramatic views of the verdant mountain ridges as the flight crosses the western coast of India near Mumbai.
Al Hajar Mountains
The rugged, jagged peaks of the northern Omani mountain range visible as the plane enters UAE airspace.
Zayed City
Vast urban developments and desert outskirts of the UAE capital during the final approach.
The left side faces south, meaning it will be subject to direct sunlight for most of the daytime flight; keep the window shade partially down to manage heat. It is the better side for spotting the dramatic Omani coastline if the flight path tracks slightly south.
