DEL → JAI
Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Jaipur International Airport (Jaipur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers superior views of the rugged Aravalli Range and the historic hill-forts of Jaipur during the final approach phase.
Aravalli Ridges
Stunning views of the ancient, weathered peaks of the Aravalli Range that define the landscape of Rajasthan.
Amer Fort
An iconic view of the golden-hued fortress and its winding defensive walls snaking over the hills during descent.
Nahargarh Fort
The strategic 'Abode of Tigers' fort located on the edge of the hills, providing a gateway view into the Pink City.
Arid Landscapes
The dramatic transition from the green fertile plains of Haryana to the rocky and sandy terrains characteristic of Rajasthan.
A seat forward of the wing is highly recommended to capture unobstructed photos of the Jaipur fortifications. The most scenic landmarks appear in the final 10 minutes of the flight. Late afternoon flights are particularly beautiful as the sunset casts a golden glow over the rocky Aravalli terrain.
Gurugram Urban Sprawl
Expansive views of the Cyber City skyline and the dense high-rises of the National Capital Region immediately after takeoff.
NH48 Corridor
The busy Delhi-Jaipur Expressway serves as a constant visual landmark tracing the route through the plains.
Alwar Foothills
Distant views of the forested ridges surrounding the Sariska Tiger Reserve and Siliserh Lake region.
IGI Airport Panorama
A complete aerial perspective of the complex runway layout and terminal architecture of India's busiest airport.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh direct glare of the sun. It is ideal for observing the scale of urban development in the NCR. Keep an eye out for the large industrial hubs of Rewari and Neemrana approximately midway through the journey.
