Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior departure view of the Doha skyline and an unparalleled look at the Sundarbans mangrove forests during the approach to Dhaka.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Doha West Bay

Unmatched views of Qatar's modern architectural marvels and the Pearl-Qatar island during the initial climb.

🏝️

UAE Coastline

Views of the Arabian Peninsula's eastern edge, including the rugged Hajar Mountains and the Gulf of Oman.

⛰️

Deccan Plateau

The diverse geological features of Central India, characterized by flat-topped hills and seasonal riverbeds.

🐅

Sundarbans Delta

The breathtaking sight of the world's largest mangrove forest and its labyrinthine water channels.

⛴️

Bay of Bengal

The vast maritime horizon where the deltaic rivers meet the sea, dotted with local fishing vessels.

The right side is ideal for morning departures to keep the sun behind the aircraft, providing better lighting for photography. For the most dramatic views of the Sundarbans, ensure you are on a flight arriving in the afternoon when the sun is lower in the west. Avoid the monsoon season from June to September for the best visibility of ground features.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Persian Gulf

Panoramic views of the shallow turquoise waters and industrial maritime activity immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Makran Coastal Range

The stark, moon-like mountain landscapes of southern Iran and Pakistan visible to the north.

🌾

Gangetic Plain

The sprawling, fertile agricultural heartland of the Indian subcontinent visible during the mid-flight cruise.

🏙️

North Dhaka

A detailed look at the dense urban grid and vibrant life of the Bangladeshi capital during the final approach.

Choose the left side for night flights to see the glittering lights of major Indian cities like Varanasi and Patna. In the winter months, look north for a rare glimpse of the Himalayan foothills on exceptionally clear days. Use a polarizing filter on your camera to cut through the atmospheric haze common over the Indian plains.
