Which side of the plane to sit from Cochin International Airport (Kochi) to Kuwait International Airport (Kuwait)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Arabian Peninsula's dramatic entry point, including the rugged Hajar Mountains and the glimmering urban landscapes of the UAE and Kuwaiti coast.
Kochi Backwaters
Aerial views of the lush Kerala coastline and interconnected waterways immediately after departure.
Lakshadweep Atolls
Vibrant turquoise coral rings scattered across the deep blue Lakshadweep Sea.
Oman Coastline
The dramatic limestone cliffs of the Hajar Mountains meeting the Gulf of Oman.
UAE Cityscapes
Distant views of the Dubai or Sharjah skylines depending on the specific flight corridor used.
Kuwaiti Shoreline
The bright blue waters of the Persian Gulf and the iconic Kuwait Towers during the final descent.
Opt for the left side on daytime flights to see the transition from tropical India to the arid Arabian desert. For evening flights, this side provides views of the brightly lit coastal cities of the UAE. Sit forward of the wing for the clearest views of the Hajar Mountains.
Arabian Sea Shipping
Active maritime traffic including massive tankers navigating towards the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian Coastline
On clear days, the jagged, reddish mountains of the Makran Coast are visible across the water.
Hormuz Islands
The unique salt domes and colorful terrain of Qeshm and Kish islands in the Persian Gulf.
Gas Flares
Glowing orange flares from offshore oil and gas platforms dotting the northern Persian Gulf.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight, as the sun will be on the opposite side. It offers the best perspective for spotting the rugged Iranian topography and the industrial scale of the Gulf's oil infrastructure.
