Which side of the plane to sit from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka) to Saidpur Airport (Saidpur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the intricate Jamuna River system, distant glimpses of the Meghalaya hills, and the potential for a spectacular Himalayan backdrop on clear days.
Jamuna River Braids
Mesmerizing views of the ever-shifting sandbars (chars) and braided channels of the Brahmaputra-Jamuna system.
Garo Hills
On very clear days, the silhouette of the Meghalaya plateau in India is visible on the far eastern horizon.
Kanchenjunga Horizon
During winter mornings, look north-northeast to spot the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas.
Teesta River
As you descend into Saidpur, witness the winding path of the Teesta River meeting the plains.
Book an early morning flight (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM) during October to February for the best chance to see Kanchenjunga. The right side typically offers better lighting for photography of the river networks during the northbound journey.
Dhaka Suburbs
Aerial perspective of the rapidly expanding western residential zones of Dhaka city after takeoff.
Bangabandhu Bridge
A clear view of the iconic 4.8 km bridge spanning the mighty Jamuna River.
Chalan Beel
The vast, shimmering marshlands and agricultural heartland of the Natore and Sirajganj regions.
Saidpur Cantonment
Distinctive organized layouts of the military cantonment area just before landing.
Sit toward the front to avoid the wing obstructing the view of the Jamuna Bridge. This side is better during the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the sun while looking west.
