Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport (Varanasi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is generally preferred for the potential to see the distant Himalayan range on clear days and for a superior view of the Ganges river during the descent into Varanasi.
