DELBKK

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a consistent panoramic view of the distant Himalayan range during the initial phase and the intricate delta systems of Myanmar and Thailand during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Himalayan Horizon

On clear days shortly after takeoff from Delhi, the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas are visible far to the north.

🌊

Ganges River Delta

Bird's-eye view of the massive, winding river networks and fertile plains of the Indo-Gangetic region.

🌳

Irrawaddy Delta

The lush, green tapestry of Myanmar's coastal wetlands as the plane enters Southeast Asian airspace.

⛰️

Tenasserim Hills

The rugged, forest-covered mountain range that forms the natural border between Myanmar and Thailand.

🏙️

Bangkok Outskirts

Aerial views of the massive industrial and residential sprawl of northern Bangkok during the final approach.

Book a seat on the left side for morning flights to see the Himalayas lit by the rising sun. Avoid seats between rows 15-25 to ensure the wing does not obstruct the view of the Irrawaddy Delta and the mountain ranges during the mid-flight transition.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏜️

Deccan Plateau Edge

Views of the dry, rugged landscapes of central and eastern India as the flight path heads southeast.

🌊

Bay of Bengal

A vast expanse of deep blue water, often dotted with cargo ships on international shipping lanes.

🏝️

Mergui Archipelago

A glimpse of the numerous tiny, white-sand islands off the southern coast of Myanmar.

🚢

Gulf of Thailand

The sparkling waters of the gulf visible just before the plane turns for its final descent into Suvarnabhumi.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to experience the sunset over the Bay of Bengal. During the monsoon season (June to September), this side often provides dramatic views of towering cloud formations over the ocean.
