Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic approach to the Indian Subcontinent, providing views of the Lakshadweep atolls and the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka, followed by the dense island clusters of the Andaman Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Arabian Sea Expanse

Vast, deep blue waters often dotted with international shipping vessels on global trade routes.

🪸

Lakshadweep Atolls

Stunning turquoise coral reefs and white sand islands scattered off the southwestern coast of India.

🇱🇰

Sri Lankan Highlands

Panoramic views of Sri Lanka's central tea country and the historic Adam's Peak if the southern route is taken.

🏝️

Andaman & Nicobar Islands

Dense, untouched rainforests and secluded beaches visible during the crossing of the Bay of Bengal.

🚢

Strait of Malacca

One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, featuring a constant stream of massive cargo ships near the Sumatra coast.

The right side is ideal for catching the sunrise on overnight flights as you approach Southeast Asia. For the best views of Sri Lanka, check the flight path on the seatback screen about 5 hours in. Near landing at KUL, watch for the massive palm oil plantations that dominate the Malaysian landscape.
