Dubai Urban Landscape
Aerial views of the Dubai Creek, Sharjah, and the dense urban sprawl of the Northern Emirates shortly after takeoff.
Hajar Mountains
The dramatic, jagged peaks of the mountain range spanning the UAE and Oman as the flight crosses the peninsula.
Western Ghats
The lush, green mountain range that runs parallel to the western coast of India, often shrouded in mist.
Kerala Backwaters
The intricate network of lagoons, lakes, and canals near Kochi and Alappuzha visible during the descent.
Kochi Cityscape
A clear view of the bustling port city and the Lallu International Convention Center area if the path hugs the coast.
For daylight flights, sit on the left to see the dramatic transition from the arid Arabian desert to the tropical greenery of India. During the monsoon (June-September), watch for spectacular cloud formations and waterfalls along the Western Ghats. Seats in front of the wing provide the clearest views of the mountains during the descent into Trivandrum.

The World Islands
The man-made archipelago off the coast of Dubai, visible depending on the departure runway and flight path.
Arabian Sea
Vast, serene stretches of the deep blue ocean that dominate the middle portion of the flight journey.
Shipping Lanes
Dozens of oil tankers and cargo ships moving through the Gulf of Oman toward the Strait of Hormuz.
Kovalam Coastline
The iconic crescent-shaped beaches and the lighthouse near Trivandrum visible just before touchdown.
Arabian Sunset
On evening flights, this side offers an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the horizon of the Arabian Sea.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to avoid direct glare while enjoying a sunset over the ocean. On the final approach into TRV, the right side often catches a glimpse of the famous Kovalam beach and the southern tip of the Indian subcontinent. It is generally a quieter visual experience compared to the landmark-heavy left side.
