Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the ancient Aravalli Range and a stunning coastal approach into Mumbai, featuring the iconic Sea Link and Juhu Beach.
Aravalli Mountains
The distinct linear ridges of one of the world's oldest mountain ranges.
Rajasthan Landscapes
Arid vistas and occasional views of salt pans and seasonal lakes.
Ahmedabad Catchment
Views of the Sabarmati river basin as the flight crosses into Gujarat.
Arabian Sea Coastline
The blue expanse of the sea as the plane banks for its final approach.
Bandra-Worli Sea Link
A breathtaking view of Mumbai's most iconic bridge just before landing.
Opt for the right side on afternoon or evening flights for a spectacular sunset over the Arabian Sea. When landing from the West (Runway 27), the right side offers the most famous view of the Mumbai coastline, including Juhu Beach and the Sea Link. Note that monsoon clouds can obscure ground views from June to September.
Delhi NCR Sprawl
Dense urban patterns of South Delhi and Gurugram immediately after takeoff.
Yamuna River
Aerial view of the river's winding path as the flight heads south.
Chambal Ravines
Unique badland topography and eroded landscapes of the Chambal valley.
Vindhya Range
The rugged plateau and mountain ridges of Central India.
Navi Mumbai Skyline
Massive infrastructure projects and high-rises around Thane Creek on descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. This side provides a clear view of the industrial development of Navi Mumbai and the massive JNPT port during the final approach. In winter, the morning haze often creates a beautiful layer over the Chambal ravines.
