Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Dabolim Airport (Goa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers superior views of the Indian western coastline and the dramatic transition from the Deccan Plateau to the Arabian Sea.
Rajasthan Horizon
The golden hues of the semi-arid landscapes of Rajasthan stretching toward the horizon.
Arabian Sea
Vibrant blue waters of the Arabian Sea coming into view as the aircraft turns toward the coast.
Konkan Coastline
The narrow coastal strip between the Western Ghats and the sea, dotted with small towns.
Goan River Estuaries
Bird's-eye view of the Mandovi and Zuari rivers merging into the sea during the descent.
North Goa Beaches
Iconic stretches of sand like Calangute and Baga visible during the final approach path.
The right side is unbeatable for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the ocean. During landing at Dabolim, this side typically offers a stunning view of the coastline and naval base.
Delhi Metropolis
Aerial view of the sprawling capital and the winding Yamuna River shortly after takeoff.
Aravalli Range
The ancient folded mountains of the Aravalli system visible across Rajasthan and Haryana.
Sahyadri Greenery
Lush, dense forest canopies of the inland Western Ghats during the mid-flight segment.
Deccan Plateau
Rugged, rocky terrain and unique geological formations typical of central India.
Morning flights are best for the left side to see the sun rising over the inland plateaus. Avoid this side on afternoon flights to minimize glare from the western sun.
