Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point over the massive Meghna River confluence, the complex network of coastal islands, and the final approach over the Bay of Bengal into Chittagong Port.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Padma-Meghna Confluence

One of the world's most impressive river junctions where massive volumes of water meet the sea.

🏝️

Sandwip Island

The unique shape of Sandwip and other coastal islands appearing amidst the silt-rich waters.

🏖️

Bay of Bengal Coastline

The dramatic transition from the muddy river deltas to the deep blue of the open bay.

🚢

Chittagong Port

A bird's eye view of the busy shipping lanes and dozens of cargo ships anchored near the port.

🌅

Patenga Beach

The popular shoreline and sea wall marking the final seconds before touchdown at CGP airport.

This is the prime side for water lovers. Afternoon flights offer stunning reflections on the river deltas. Be sure to look out for the 'ship-breaking' yards near Bhatiari just before landing, which are iconic to this region.

Left Side Highlights

🏙️

Dhaka Cityscape

Aerial view of the dense urban sprawl of Dhaka and the northern industrial zones during takeoff.

🌉

Meghna Bridge

A clear view of the long bridge connecting Dhaka to the eastern districts over the wide river.

⛰️

Tripura Foothills

Distant views of the green, rolling hills of the Indian state of Tripura visible on the horizon.

🌳

Chittagong Hill Tracts

As you descend, the lush greenery and undulating terrain of the eastern hills become visible.

💧

Karnaphuli River

The winding path of the Karnaphuli river as it snakes through the city of Chittagong.

Sit on the left for better views of the city outskirts and the distant hills. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, providing better lighting for photography of the landscape below.
