Which side of the plane to sit from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka) to London Heathrow Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the world's highest peaks, including the Himalayan and Karakoram ranges, providing a breathtaking start to the journey before crossing the dramatic Caucasus and the diverse landscapes of Europe.
Himalayan Giants
Unrivaled views of the high Himalayas, including distant glimpses of Mount Everest and Kanchenjunga under clear conditions.
Karakoram Range
Fly parallel to the massive peaks of northern Pakistan, including Nanga Parbat and the high ridges of the Hindu Kush.
Caspian Sea
Cross the world's largest inland sea, observing the Absheron Peninsula and the Baku coastline from high altitude.
Caucasus Mountains
A stunning transit over the rugged mountains separating Asia and Europe, often covered in snow year-round.
Central Europe
Views of historic cities like Prague or Berlin and the patchwork of European farmland depending on the specific airway.
Central London Skyline
Spectacular views of Canary Wharf, the Thames, and the City of London when landing toward the west on Runway 27R.
Sit toward the front of the cabin to ensure an unobstructed view of the Himalayas, which appear roughly 30-60 minutes after takeoff. Since most flights from Dhaka depart in the morning, the sun will be on the left side, providing the perfect front-lighting for photography of the mountains on the right side.
Ganges Delta
Witness the intricate network of rivers and lush greenery of the world's largest delta shortly after departure from Dhaka.
Northern India
Overview of the sprawling urban expanse of Delhi and the surrounding NCR region as you head northwest.
Karakum Desert
Stark and beautiful views of the arid Central Asian landscapes and Turkmenistan's unique geological patterns.
Southern Black Sea
Glance at the Turkish coastline and the vast blue expanse of the Black Sea while transitioning into European airspace.
Distant Alps
On clear days with a southerly flight path, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the European Alps appear on the horizon.
South Bank London
If landing on Runway 27L, catch a glimpse of the London Eye and the Shard during the final approach.
The left side is superior for sunset enthusiasts on this westbound route, as the sun will be positioned to the south. To avoid glare during the mid-flight hours, keep your window shade partially closed. It also offers a better view of the English Channel and the South Coast of England during the descent.
