During the final approach to MAA, the left side frequently offers views of the city's coastal landmarks and the historic downtown area if the flight path approaches from the northeast.

Don Mueang Runways
Detailed views of the unique golf course situated between the airport's primary runways during takeoff.

Distant glimpses of the dense mangrove forests and remote islands of the Mergui Archipelago to the north.
Fishing Fleets
Numerous small fishing vessels scattered across the shallow coastal waters of the Andaman Sea.
Ennore Port
Industrial landscapes and the major shipping hub located to the north of Chennai city during descent.
The right side is excellent for observing industrial progress and the northern suburbs of Chennai. If traveling during the late afternoon, be prepared for some glare as the sun sets in the west. This side is typically better for seeing the northern tip of the Andaman Islands if the flight takes a more northerly route due to weather avoidance.
