DEL → BKK
Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
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.
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.
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.
