Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Osmany International Airport (Sylhet Osmani)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the rugged Makran coastline of Pakistan and the breathtaking Meghalaya hills during the descent into Sylhet.
Dubai Coastline
Dramatic views of the Burj Khalifa and the Palm Jumeirah immediately after takeoff from DXB.
Hajar Mountains
The jagged peaks of the northern UAE and Oman border crossing as the plane heads toward the Gulf of Oman.
Makran Coastline
Unique geological formations and turquoise waters along the southern coast of Balochistan, Pakistan.
Distant Himalayas
On exceptionally clear days, the white peaks of the high Himalayas may be visible far to the north while over North India.
Meghalaya Plateau
The 'Abode of Clouds' provides a stunning green wall of hills just north of Sylhet during the final approach.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur. This side is especially rewarding on daytime flights for the descent into Sylhet, as the aircraft often banks near the Khasi Hills. In winter, keep an eye out for the Himalayan range reflecting the midday sun far to the north.
Empty Quarter Edge
Views of the rolling orange dunes of the Arabian Desert as the flight path levels off.
Port of Karachi
The sprawling industrial landscape and shipping lanes of Pakistan's largest coastal city.
Gangetic Plain
A vast, intricate patchwork of agricultural fields and winding rivers across Central India.
Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta
The massive, silver-threaded river systems of West Bengal and Western Bangladesh.
Sylhet Tea Gardens
Lush, rolling green tea estates visible just before touchdown at Osmani International.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Arabian Sea. It also offers the best view of the massive river confluences of the Bengal Delta. Ensure your window is clean, as the afternoon sun can highlight any scratches or smudges on this side of the aircraft.
