DWC → CGP
Which side of the plane to sit from Al Maktoum International Airport (Dubai) to Shah Amanat International Airport (Chittagong)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Dubai urban landscape on departure, the rugged mountains of the UAE/Oman border, and the complex river networks of the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta before landing.
Dubai Skyline
A distant view of the Burj Khalifa and the urban sprawl of the UAE shortly after takeoff from DWC.
Hajar Mountains
Dramatic, jagged limestone peaks crossing the border between the UAE and Northern Oman.
Central Indian Plains
A patchwork of agricultural fields and rural townships as the flight crosses over Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh.
Kolkata Metropolis
The dense urban landscape and the Hooghly River as the flight nears the Bangladesh border.
Ganges Delta
An incredible network of emerald rivers and silt-rich channels forming the world's largest delta.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left side to catch the Dubai skyline during departure. Daytime flights are essential to appreciate the transition from the arid Arabian Peninsula to the lush, water-rich landscapes of Bengal. During winter months (November to February), visibility is usually at its peak, providing clear views of the intricate river systems during the descent into Chittagong.
Gulf of Oman
The deep blue waters and the rugged coastline of the Al Batinah region in Oman.
Arabian Sea
A vast expanse of azure water during the mid-flight crossing toward the Indian subcontinent.
Godavari River
Aerial views of one of India's longest rivers winding through the Deccan Plateau.
Sundarbans
The southern fringes of the world's largest mangrove forest along the Bay of Bengal.
Chittagong Port
A birds-eye view of the massive cargo vessels and industrial zones near the Karnaphuli River.
The right side is perfect for maritime enthusiasts. As you approach Chittagong, keep an eye out for the world-famous ship-breaking yards along the coast. Afternoon flights offer a spectacular golden hour glow over the Bay of Bengal. If traveling during the monsoon season (June to September), expect significant cloud cover over the Indian interior, making the coastal approach the primary visual highlight.
