Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta's intricate river systems and a dramatic entry into the UAE over the Hajar Mountains, with better lighting for afternoon flights.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🐅

Sundarbans Mangroves

The fringes of the world's largest mangrove forest and the complex web of the Ganges Delta.

🏞️

Vindhya & Satpura Ranges

The rugged, ancient plateau and mountain topography of Central India.

🏭

Gulf of Khambhat

Massive tidal flats and industrial hubs near the Gujarat coastline before heading over sea.

⛰️

Hajar Mountains

The stark, jagged peaks of the Oman-UAE border rising sharply from the desert floor.

🏗️

Dubai South & Expo City

Views of the massive urban developments and the site of Expo 2020 surrounding Al Maktoum Airport.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the Ganges Delta without window glare. It provides the best perspective of the UAE's mountainous terrain during descent. Sit here to avoid the direct southern sun glare during the long westward cruise across India.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
⚓

Chittagong Port & Karnaphuli

Aerial view of Bangladesh's busiest maritime gateway and the winding Karnaphuli River upon departure.

🌊

Chilika Lake

Asia's largest brackish water lagoon, recognizable by its unique pear shape along the Odisha coast.

⛰️

Eastern Ghats

Lush, rolling mountain ridges stretching across the eastern coast of India.

🏙️

Hyderabad Outskirts

Glimpses of the expanding tech city and the rugged Deccan Plateau landscape.

🌅

Arabian Sea Sunset

Prime position for viewing the sun setting over the open ocean on late afternoon flights.

Choose the left side for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Arabian Sea. Early in the flight, keep your camera ready for the Odisha coastline where the land meets the Bay of Bengal. On approach to DWC, this side often sees the industrial expanse of Jebel Ali Port.
