A massive view of Dammam's industrial port and the King Fahd Causeway shortly after takeoff.
Gulf of Oman
Watch for the heavy maritime traffic of oil tankers entering and exiting the Strait of Hormuz.
Arabian Sea Crossing
The deep blue expanse provides a serene backdrop before making landfall on the Indian west coast.
The Sundarbans
The world's largest mangrove forest, appearing as a dark green carpet broken by winding silver threads of water.
Bengal Delta Rivers
The spectacular sight of the Padma and Meghna rivers merging into the Bay of Bengal.
Floating Life
Countless small boats and sediment-rich river channels typical of the Bangladeshi rural landscape.
The right side is the 'money side' for the final 45 minutes of the flight. The entry into Bangladesh over the Sundarbans is iconic. For morning flights, keep your window shade partially closed over the Arabian Sea to manage glare, then open it fully as you cross into the Indian subcontinent for the best photographic lighting of the delta.

Central Indian Highlands
The rugged terrain of the Vindhya and Satpura ranges providing a textured landscape over the subcontinent.
Indo-Gangetic Plain
A vast, flat expanse of fertile agricultural land stretching across Northern India toward Bangladesh.
Dhaka Approach

Sit on the left if you are traveling during the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the sun which will be on the right (south). On exceptionally clear winter days, you might catch a faint glimpse of the distant Himalayan peaks far to the north during the mid-flight phase over India.
