DME โ GOI
Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Dabolim Airport (Goa)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic shift from the Russian plains to the rugged peaks of the Hindu Kush and the lush green ridges of the Western Ghats upon arrival in India.
Moscow Suburbs
Bird's-eye view of the sprawling residential areas and forests surrounding Domodedovo during the initial climb.
Caspian Sea Coast
Vast views of the eastern Caspian shoreline as the flight transitions from Russia into Central Asia.
Kyzylkum Desert
Stunning patterns of red sand dunes and arid landscapes across Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.
Hindu Kush Outskirts
Distances views of the towering, snow-capped peaks of the mountain ranges in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Indus River Basin
The intricate silver ribbon of the Indus River winding through the plains of Pakistan.
Western Ghats
Lush, emerald-green mountain ranges that signal the final descent into the tropical climate of Goa.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to catch the sunrise over Central Asia. Keep your camera ready during the final 30 minutes of the flight; the contrast between the mountain greenery and the red earth of Goa is spectacular. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the river systems.
Volga Delta
The complex network of waterways where the Volga River meets the Caspian Sea.
Karakum Desert
A glimpse into the vast 'Black Sands' of Turkmenistan, featuring unique geological formations.
Karachi Coastline
Views of the industrial ports and the sprawling urban landscape of Pakistan's largest city.
Arabian Sea
Deep blue oceanic vistas as the flight tracks parallel to the Indian coastline.
North Goa Beaches
During the final approach into Dabolim, you can often spot the famous sandy stretches of Arambol and Mandrem.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Arabian Sea. During the monsoon season (JuneโSeptember), this side provides a front-row seat to the massive storm clouds rolling in from the ocean. When landing from the north, this side offers the first glimpse of Goa's famous coastline and beaches.
