Which side of the plane to sit from King Fahd International Airport (Dammam) to Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the rugged Iranian coastline across the Gulf of Oman and a spectacular perspective of the Western Ghats mountain range during the descent into India.
Persian Gulf Islands
Vibrant turquoise waters and offshore oil rigs near the Saudi coastline immediately after takeoff.
Iranian Makran Coast
Deeply eroded mountain ridges and barren moon-like landscapes along the northern side of the Gulf of Oman.
Strait of Hormuz
A birds-eye view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes filled with massive cargo tankers.
Western Ghats
Lush green peaks and steep escarpments of the UNESCO-listed mountain range as the flight enters Karnataka.
North Bangalore
Aerial views of the sprawling urban development and the Hebbal lake area during final approach.
For daytime flights, the left side is essential for seeing the dramatic Iranian geology. On night flights, look for the intense glow of industrial flares in the Gulf. Sit ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Western Ghats' steep ridges upon entering Indian airspace.
Empty Quarter Fringes
Golden sand dunes where the Saudi desert meets the UAE and Omani borders.
Dubai Skyline
On clear days, the silhouette of the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Marina skyscrapers are visible in the distance.
Musandam Peninsula
The jagged, mountainous 'Fjords of Arabia' jutting into the sea at the tip of Oman.
Konkan Coastline
The first point of contact with the Indian subcontinent, featuring river mouths and sandy beaches near Mangalore.
Deccan Plateau
A patchwork of agricultural fields and rocky granite outcrops unique to the South Indian interior.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Arabian Sea. During the monsoon season (June to September), this side offers the best views of massive cumulonimbus cloud formations rising over the ocean. Keep your camera ready for the UAE coastline shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
