DMM β TRV
Which side of the plane to sit from King Fahd International Airport (Dammam) to Trivandrum International Airport (Trivandrum)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic desert landscapes of the UAE and the rugged Al Hajar Mountains in Oman, followed by a stunning coastal approach into Kerala featuring the iconic Kovalam coastline.
UAE Skylines
On clear days, catch the distant silhouettes of Abu Dhabi or Dubai's skyscrapers along the horizon.
Al Hajar Mountains
Dramatic, dark mountain peaks cutting through the desert landscape of Northern Oman.
Arabian Sea Expanse
A vast turquoise to deep blue transition, often featuring large cargo ships and tankers on global trade routes.
Kovalam Coastline
The famous crescent beaches and the red-and-white striped lighthouse of Kovalam during the final approach path.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness spectacular sunsets over the Arabian Sea. During the approach to TRV, the right side usually provides a better view of the shoreline and the city's coastal landmarks.
Dammam & Gulf Coast
Bird's-eye view of King Abdulaziz Port and the sprawling residential districts of eastern Saudi Arabia.
Musandam Peninsula
The jagged limestone cliffs and 'Fjords of Arabia' where the mountains plunge into the Strait of Hormuz.
Western Ghats
The UNESCO-listed mountain range appearing as a lush green wall as you approach the Indian subcontinent.
Kerala Backwaters
Intricate networks of lagoons, lakes, and canals reflecting the sky just before the final descent into Trivandrum.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you while viewing the Indian coastline. Watch for the distinct change from the arid Gulf landscape to the tropical greenery of Kerala during the last hour of flight.
