Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic desert coastlines of the Middle East, the diverse agricultural landscapes of the Indian subcontinent, and the rugged, forested mountain ranges of Myanmar before descending into the central plains of Thailand.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Persian Gulf Coastline

Crystal clear views of the Iranian coast and the rugged Hormozgan province mountains during the initial cruise.

🏔️

Makran Coastal Range

Stunning desert mountains and folded geological structures along the southern coast of Pakistan.

🌾

Indo-Gangetic Plain

The vast, intricate mosaic of agricultural fields and river systems across northern and central India.

⛰️

Arakan Mountains

Dense, cloud-topped jungle ridges and steep valleys as the flight enters Myanmar's airspace.

🏙️

Chao Phraya Delta

A bird's-eye view of the winding river systems and lush green rice paddies surrounding the Bangkok metropolis.

Choose the left side for morning departures to have the sun behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Pakistani coastline. Keep an eye out during the mid-flight segment for a distant silhouette of the Himalayan foothills if the flight path takes a more northerly route. This side generally provides better landmass views throughout the journey.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🛥️

UAE Horizon

Distant views of the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai skyline on clear days shortly after departure.

🌊

Arabian Sea Expanse

A vast deep-blue maritime view with frequent sightings of cargo ships along international shipping lanes.

🌃

Indian Coastal Lights

The spectacular golden glow of cities like Mumbai or Pune when flying on a night schedule.

🚤

Bay of Bengal

Witness massive tropical cloud formations and the remote beauty of the northern Indian Ocean.

🏖️

Gulf of Thailand

Turquoise waters and the coastal resorts of Chon Buri during the final approach into BKK if landing from the south.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Bay of Bengal. If the aircraft approaches Suvarnabhumi from the south (Runway 01), this side offers a better view of the Gulf of Thailand coastline. For night flights, the right side often captures the vibrant lights of major urban centers along the Indian coast.
