Which side of the plane to sit from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka) to Yangon International Airport (Yangon)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular coastal views of the Bay of Bengal, the pristine beaches of the Rakhine state, and stunning sunset opportunities during evening flights.
Bay of Bengal Coastline
Expansive views where the turquoise waters of the bay meet the rocky shores of western Myanmar.
St. Martin's Island
A glimpse of Bangladesh's only coral island, appearing as a small turquoise dot in the sea.
Ngapali Beach
The famous white-sand coastline of Myanmar, visible as a long, pristine stretch of tropical beauty.
Andaman Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the horizon, perfect for capturing sunsets over the open sea.
The right side is the clear winner for afternoon and evening flights, offering a front-row seat to the sunset over the Bay of Bengal. Try to secure a seat forward or aft of the wing to get clear photos of the Rakhine coastline and the coral reefs near the islands.
Dhaka Urban Sprawl
A dense aerial view of the Buriganga River and the sprawling capital city immediately after takeoff.
Chittagong Hill Tracts
Lush green mountain ridges that form the natural border between Bangladesh and Myanmar.
Arakan Mountains
The rugged terrain of the Rakhine Yoma range, showcasing deep valleys and forested peaks.
Lower Irrawaddy Basin
A patchwork of fertile agricultural lands and river tributaries as the flight nears Yangon.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy soft lighting over the mountains without the harsh glare of the sun. This side provides a better perspective of the inland geography and the transition from the Ganges delta to the Myanmar highlands.
