COK → TRV
Which side of the plane to sit from Cochin International Airport (Kochi) to Trivandrum International Airport (Trivandrum)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a continuous view of the stunning Malabar coastline, the Arabian Sea, and the unique geological formation of the Varkala cliffs as you approach Trivandrum.
Search flights from COK to TRV
Kochi Harbor
Catch a glimpse of the bustling port, Willingdon Island, and the iconic Chinese fishing nets during takeoff.
Alappuzha Beach
Spot the historic pier and the white sands of Alleppey stretching along the coast.
Arabian Sea
Enjoy the endless blue horizon and the reflection of the sun on the water throughout the flight.
Varkala Cliffs
The famous red laterite cliffs adjacent to the sea are a unique sight during the descent into TRV.
Vizhinjam Port
As you circle for landing, you can see the massive construction of the international deep-water multipurpose seaport.
The right side is unbeatable for coastal enthusiasts. Book an evening flight to witness a spectacular sunset over the Arabian Sea. Because the flight path is mostly north-to-south, the right side stays away from the glare of the morning sun. Keep your camera ready as you pass Varkala; the contrast between the red cliffs and the blue sea is the route's visual peak.

Vembanad Lake
View India's longest lake and the heart of the Kerala backwaters shortly after departure from Kochi.
Kuttanad Paddies
The 'Rice Bowl of Kerala' showcases vast, vibrant green fields often located below sea level.
Ashtamudi Lake
A beautiful palm-shaped wetland system near Kollam visible as the plane nears its destination.
Western Ghats
The silhouette of the Sahyadri mountain range provides a majestic backdrop to the east on clear days.
Rubber Plantations
Densely packed emerald green canopies characteristic of the interior districts of Kottayam and Pathanamthitta.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sun rising over the Western Ghats. This side is better for observing the complex network of canals and inland waterways. Since this is a very short flight (approx. 45 minutes), choose a seat well ahead of the wing (Rows 1-8) to ensure the engine doesn't block your view of the lakes.
