Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (Lucknow)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior as it typically offers a direct view of the iconic Dubai skyline during takeoff and provides better lighting conditions for photography since the sun remains mostly to the south of the aircraft.
Dubai Skyline
Breathtaking views of the Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscrapers of Downtown Dubai shortly after departure.
Hajar Mountains
The rugged, dark terrain of the Hajar mountain range stretching across the UAE and Oman border.
Gulf of Oman
Transition from the sandy coast to the deep turquoise waters of the Gulf.
Indus River Basin
The intricate network of fertile plains and irrigation channels winding through central Pakistan.
Himalayan Horizon
On exceptionally clear days, especially in winter, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas may be visible to the north.
Lucknow Approach
A bird's-eye view of the Gomti River and the historic architectural landmarks of the City of Nawabs.
For the best experience, book an 'A' seat. On morning flights, the sun will be behind the aircraft or to the right, minimizing glare on your window. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes of takeoff for the Dubai skyline and the last 15 minutes for the approach into Lucknow.
Rub' al Khali Fringe
The edge of the vast Empty Quarter desert with its rolling orange sand dunes.
Sindh Coastline
Views of the Arabian Sea and the industrial ports near Karachi depending on the flight path.
Thar Desert
The Great Indian Desert's arid landscape featuring small settlements and seasonal riverbeds.
Chambal Ravines
The unique, labyrinthine erosion patterns of the Chambal river valley in North India.
Yamuna River
The wide, silvery curve of the Yamuna River as you cross into the state of Uttar Pradesh.
South Lucknow
Views of the Ekana Stadium and the modern residential developments of the Gomti Nagar Extension.
Select an 'F' or 'K' seat. Be prepared for significant sun glare during daytime flights as the sun tracks along the southern side of the plane. This side is particularly interesting during monsoon season to see the dramatic cloud formations and flooded river basins across the Indian subcontinent.
