COK → DXB
Which side of the plane to sit from Cochin International Airport (Kochi) to Dubai International Airport (Dubai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a dramatic transition from the vast Arabian Sea to the rugged Hajar Mountains, culminating in a spectacular panorama of the Dubai skyline including the Burj Khalifa.
Search flights from COK to DXB
Malabar Coast
A sweeping view of the northern Kerala coastline and sandy beaches as the aircraft climbs to cruise altitude.
Musandam Peninsula
The dramatic 'Fjords of Arabia' with deep blue water cutting into stark, rocky mountains.
Hajar Mountains
The jagged peaks and desert valleys of the mountain range that separates Oman and the UAE.
Burj Khalifa & Downtown
The best side for seeing the world's tallest building and the dense cluster of skyscrapers in the Business Bay area.
Meydan Racecourse
The massive horse racing facility is often clearly visible during the final minutes of the flight.
The right side is generally superior for the descent into DXB. You will fly over the Omani mountains and usually get a clear view of the Burj Khalifa on the right as the plane turns for its final approach. For daytime flights, this side also avoids the harshest direct sunlight when flying west-northwest.

Kochi Backwaters
Aerial views of the lush green network of canals and lagoons immediately after takeoff from COK.
Arabian Sea Sunset
On late afternoon flights, this side provides front-row seats to the sun setting over the open ocean.
The Palm Jumeirah
Depending on the landing pattern, you may spot the iconic man-made island and the Dubai Marina.
The World Islands
Clear views of the artificial archipelago shaped like a world map during the final approach.
Sit on the left for evening departures to enjoy the sunset over the sea. During descent, if the wind is from the south, you might get a closer look at the coastal developments like the Palm Jumeirah. Ensure your window is clean as the humidity in Kochi can sometimes cause exterior fogging before takeoff.
