Which side of the plane to sit from Shah Amanat International Airport (Chittagong) to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior perspective of the Bay of Bengal coastline and the immense river deltas that define the geography of Bangladesh.
Chittagong Port
A bird's-eye view of Bangladesh's primary maritime gateway with numerous cargo ships.
Bay of Bengal
Stunning views of the coastline and the muddy waters where the delta meets the sea.
Meghna River Delta
The massive, winding waterways and shifting islands of one of the world's largest river systems.
Narayanganj Industrial Belt
Dense clusters of factories and textile mills along the Shitalakshya River on approach to Dhaka.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side offers the best views of the vast river networks and the massive Meghna estuary. Watch for the 'char' islands forming in the river beds during the dry season.
Chittagong Cityscape
The dense urban sprawl of the port city nestled against the surrounding hills.
Mainamati Hills
Ancient archaeological sites and green ridges visible near the Comilla region.
Bengal Plains
An endless patchwork of emerald green rice paddies and rural homesteads.
Purbachal New Town
The massive planned urban development projects on the northeastern edge of Dhaka.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights. You will see the rolling hills near the border and the transition from rural plains to Dhaka's intense urbanization. Keep an eye out for the red soil of the Barind Tract-like formations near Comilla.
