Which side of the plane to sit from Coimbatore International Airport (Coimbatore) to Sharjah International Airport (Sharjah)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is preferred for its dramatic views of the Hajar Mountain range and the scenic approach over the Northern Emirates' coast.
Nilgiri Hills
Views of the high-altitude 'Blue Mountains' and the Palakkad Gap during the initial climb out of India.
Gulf of Oman
Busy maritime corridors and tankers visible as the flight approaches the Musandam Peninsula.
Hajar Mountains
Rugged, craggy peaks that offer a stunning transition from the sea to the desert landscape.
Sharjah City
Detailed views of the city's unique architecture, lagoons, and the Al Noor Mosque during the landing phase.
The right side is spectacular during late afternoon arrivals when the setting sun paints the Hajar Mountains in deep oranges and reds. It also provides the best view of Sharjah's urban layout.
Western Ghats
Lush green ridges and valleys visible shortly after departing Coimbatore as the plane heads toward the coast.
Arabian Sea
A long stretch of deep blue waters during the mid-portion of the flight across the Indian Ocean.
UAE Desert
Vast stretches of rolling sand dunes as the aircraft enters the interior of the Arabian Peninsula.
Dubai Horizon
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Burj Khalifa and Dubai skyline can be spotted to the south.
Choose the left side for morning departures to keep the sun behind the aircraft, providing better lighting for sea and desert photography.
