DAC โ CXB
Which side of the plane to sit from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka) to Cox's Bazar Airport (Cox's Bazar)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the complex river geography of Bangladesh, including the massive Meghna river delta and the transition into the eastern hill tracts.
Dhaka Urban Maze
A dense aerial view of the capital's expansion and the Buriganga river immediately after takeoff from DAC.
Meghna River Braids
Watch the intricate silver ribbons of the Meghna river system as it winds through lush green agricultural plains.
Chittagong Hill Tracts
As the flight progresses south, the flat delta gives way to the distant, rolling green silhouettes of the eastern mountains.
Matarbari Infrastructure
Large-scale industrial developments and energy projects visible near the coast as you approach the destination.
For the best experience, book an early morning flight (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM). The morning light illuminates the river systems beautifully without the harsh glare of the midday sun. Seats at the front of the cabin are preferred to avoid wing obstruction of the winding river paths.
Padma-Meghna Confluence
The massive scale of the world's largest delta where two giant rivers merge into the Bay of Bengal.
Sandwip and Hatiya Islands
Isolated silt islands scattered across the bay, showing the constant geological evolution of the coastline.
Bay of Bengal Shipping
Dozens of cargo ships and fishing trawlers anchored near the Chittagong port area visible in the distance.
Cox's Bazar Shoreline
The iconic white surf and the endless stretch of the world's longest natural sandy beach during final descent.
The right side is unbeatable for late afternoon or evening flights. You can witness a spectacular sunset over the Bay of Bengal. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight for a stunning parallel view of the coastline and the Marine Drive road.
