Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Phuket International Airport (Phuket)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer diverse landscapes, the right side provides more dramatic views of the Hindu Kush mountains and the stunning limestone formations of Phang Nga Bay during the final descent into Phuket.
Search flights from DME to HKT
Kyzylkum Desert
The vast, red-sand expanses of Uzbekistan providing a stark contrast to the Russian steppes.
Hindu Kush Peaks
Spectacular, jagged snow-capped peaks across Afghanistan and Northern Pakistan.
Delhi Metropolis
The massive urban sprawl of India's capital is often visible during the mid-flight transit.
Andaman Sea
Crystal clear turquoise waters and remote island chains as the aircraft nears Phuket.
Phang Nga Bay
The iconic limestone karsts and 'James Bond Island' formations during the approach to HKT.
This is the 'cool' side for a morning arrival, avoiding direct sunlight. Request a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Hindu Kush. During the final 20 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the spectacular limestone cliffs of Phang Nga Bay, which are most frequently visible from this side.

Volga River Basin
Aerial views of Russia's longest river and the surrounding fertile plains shortly after departure.
Tian Shan Foothills
The northern fringes of the 'Heavenly Mountains' visible as the flight traverses Central Asia.
Brahmaputra Delta
The complex network of emerald waterways and islands where the Ganges meets the sea.
Thai Mainland Coast
The lush green coastline of the Malay Peninsula as you approach southern Thailand.
The left side is ideal for catching the sunrise if you are on an overnight flight from Moscow. It offers a better vantage point for the vast river deltas of South Asia. Be aware that the sun will be on this side for the first half of a southbound daylight flight, which may cause glare.
