Which side of the plane to sit from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka) to Barisal Airport (Barisal)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the winding Buriganga River and the massive Padma River delta, including a potential view of the landmark Padma Bridge during clear weather.
Buriganga River
The lifeline of Dhaka city, visible shortly after takeoff with its intense boat traffic and shipyards.
Padma Multipurpose Bridge
If the flight path stays slightly west, you can spot this engineering marvel crossing the massive Padma River.
Padma River Delta
Witness the sheer scale of the Ganges as it flows toward the Bay of Bengal, featuring shifting sandbars known as chars.
Kirtonkhola River
A beautiful winding river that signals your arrival into the greenery of Barisal.
Guava Orchards
As you descend into Barisal, look for the dense, lush greenery and floating market regions that the area is famous for.
This is the premier side for geography enthusiasts. Sit here for the best views of the Padma River's incredible width. For late afternoon flights, you will be treated to a stunning sunset reflecting off the delta's many tributaries. Ensure your window is clean as the low-altitude cruising on this short hop makes for excellent photography.
East Dhaka Urban Sprawl
Bird's-eye view of the dense residential and industrial areas expanding toward Narayanganj.
Ariyal Beel
One of the oldest and largest wetlands in the country, appearing as a vast green or watery expanse depending on the season.
Shitalakshya River
A glimpse of the busy waterway known for its industrial importance and connectivity.
Lower Meghna Plains
Vast stretches of fertile agricultural land and small villages typical of the Bengal Delta.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a better perspective of the vast eastern floodplains and the distant Meghna River horizon. During the monsoon, the water-logging in the beels creates a beautiful reflective mosaic.
