DEL → BAH
Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Bahrain International Airport (Bahrain)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic geological formations of the Makran Coast and the rugged mountains of Iran across the Persian Gulf.
Karachi Coastline
The sprawling urban expanse of Pakistan's largest city meeting the Arabian Sea.
Makran Coastal Range
Stunning lunar-like white clay cliffs and mud volcanoes along the coast of Balochistan.
Strait of Hormuz
A bird's-eye view of one of the world's most strategic and busy shipping chokepoints.
Zagros Mountains
The jagged, snow-capped or arid peaks of the southern Iranian ranges visible across the water.
Bahrain Archipelago
A complete view of the main island and the Amwaj Islands during the final descent into BAH.
The Makran Coast is the star of this route; choose a morning flight for the best lighting on these cliffs. On approach to Bahrain, the right side usually provides a spectacular view of the Muharraq area and the financial district's unique architecture. Ensure a window seat away from the wing to see the coastline clearly.
Thar Desert
Vast stretches of golden sand dunes and arid landscapes as you cross Rajasthan.
UAE Skyline
Distant views of the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai skyline if the flight path tracks south of the Gulf.
Gulf of Oman
Deep blue waters of the Arabian Sea transitioning into the turquoise shallows of the Gulf.
Offshore Rigs
Numerous oil and gas platforms dotting the Persian Gulf near the Bahraini coastline.
Sit on the left if you want to catch a glimpse of the glittering UAE coastline at night. For daytime flights, look out for the transition from the arid Indian plains to the deep blue Arabian Sea. Seats behind the wing are preferred to avoid engine glare.
