Which side of the plane to sit from Shah Amanat International Airport (Chittagong) to King Abdulaziz International Airport (Jeddah)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most dramatic views of the vast Rub' al Khali desert and the stark volcanic landscapes of the Hijaz mountains before landing.
Sundarbans Delta
The northern edge of the world's largest mangrove forest is often visible shortly after takeoff.
Mumbai Skyline
On clear days, the dense urban sprawl of India's west coast can be seen before heading out to sea.
The Empty Quarter
Unforgettable views of the massive orange sand dunes of the Rub' al Khali desert in Saudi Arabia.
Hijaz Mountains
Dramatic black volcanic rock formations and craggy peaks as the aircraft descends toward the Red Sea.
Jeddah Waterfront
A view of the King Fahd Fountain and the modern skyscrapers along the Jeddah Corniche on approach.
The right side is superior for daytime flights due to the spectacular desert patterns. Aim for a seat ahead of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the Empty Quarter's 'Sea of Sand' dunes, which are a primary highlight of this route.
Bay of Bengal
Immediate coastal views of the Bengal delta and the shipping lanes departing Chittagong.
Deccan Plateau
The rugged, ancient terrain of central and southern India stretching toward the horizon.
Arabian Sea Sunset
Uninterrupted views of the sun setting over the water on evening departures.
Dhofar Coastline
The unique coastal geography where the mountains of Oman meet the Arabian Sea.
Opt for the left side on evening flights to witness the sunset over the Arabian Sea. This side is also better for spotting the southern coastline of the Arabian Peninsula as you cross from the sea to land.
