Which side of the plane to sit from Cochin International Airport (Kochi) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a comprehensive visual tour of the Indian subcontinent, transitioning from the lush Nilgiris to the historic Yamuna plains, with the potential for iconic monument sightings near Agra.
Search flights from COK to DEL
Nilgiri Biosphere
Lush, mist-covered mountains of the south visible shortly after the initial climb from Kochi.
Deccan Plateau
Observe the unique volcanic rock formations and vast agricultural patterns of central India.
Narmada River
One of the most significant river crossings on this route, identifiable by its wide, winding path.
Taj Mahal & Agra
On the standard southern arrival into Delhi, look out for the white marble dome of the Taj Mahal near the Yamuna river.
The right side is premier for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Indian landscape. During the descent phase, approximately 20 minutes before landing, keep a sharp eye for Agra's historic monuments if the flight path aligns with the eastern corridor.

Malabar Coastline
Stunning views of the Kerala shoreline and the confluence of backwaters with the Arabian Sea.
Western Ghats
The rugged, green-carpeted peaks of the Sahyadri mountains stretching along the western horizon.
Mumbai Skyline
A panoramic view of the financial capital's dense high-rises and the expansive coastline.
Thar Desert Fringe
As you head north, the landscape shifts to the arid, golden-brown hues of southern Rajasthan.
Opt for the left side on early morning flights (6 AM - 9 AM) to benefit from the sun being on the opposite side, which enhances visibility of the Western Ghats and reduces window glare.
