Which side of the plane to sit from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka) to Kuwait International Airport (Kuwait)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a spectacular display of diverse landscapes, from the golden dunes of the Thar Desert to the dramatic, jagged mountain ranges of Balochistan and the Iranian coastline across the Gulf. It also avoids direct sun glare on westbound daytime flights.
The Thar Desert
Observe the vast, undulating sand dunes of Rajasthan and the border regions of India and Pakistan.
The Indus River
A striking view of the massive Indus River snaking through the arid plains of the Sindh province.
Balochistan Peaks
Dramatic views of the rugged, lunar-like mountain formations and deep canyons in western Pakistan.
Makran Coastal Range
Stunning geological formations where the mountains meet the sea along the northern edge of the Gulf of Oman.
Kuwait City Skyline
A fantastic view of the Kuwait Towers and the modern skyline during the final approach into KWI.
The right side is ideal for photography as it offers better lighting conditions away from the direct sun. For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to clearly see the transition from the Indian subcontinent to the Middle Eastern desert. During winter months, clear skies over Balochistan offer some of the best geological sightseeing in the world.
Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta
Breathtaking aerial views of the world's largest river delta and its intricate network of waterways immediately after takeoff.
Indian Urban Centers
Glance over the sprawling urban landscapes of central India, often passing near cities like Varanasi or Lucknow.
Arabian Sea Coastline
Views of the shimmering waters as the flight crosses the coastline near the Gulf of Oman.
Gulf Oil Platforms
As you descend towards Kuwait, look for the industrial clusters and oil infrastructure dotting the blue waters of the Persian Gulf.
On the left side, expect significant solar glare during morning and afternoon flights as the sun remains to the south. This side is superior for night flights to catch the bright, glowing grids of Dubai and other coastal cities if the flight path tracks slightly south.
