Manhattan Skyline
Immediately after takeoff from Newark, enjoy an incredible panorama of the Statue of Liberty and the New York City financial district.
The European Alps
Distant but beautiful views of the Swiss and Austrian Alps as the flight cruises across the European continent.
Persian Gulf Coast
Witness the stark contrast between the turquoise waters and the arid, golden landscapes of the Middle East.
Marine Drive
During the final approach into BOM, look for the 'Queen's Necklace' along the Mumbai coastline, especially stunning at night.
Sit on the right for the best chance of seeing the NYC skyline after takeoff, though this depends on the wind direction and runway usage. On the descent into Mumbai, the right side typically offers more consistent views of the city's famous coastline and dense urban landscape.

Greenland Ice Cap
On more northerly flight paths, catch a glimpse of the vast, jagged ice sheets and deep blue crevasses.
The Caspian Sea
Spectacular views of the world's largest inland body of water as the plane transitions from Europe into Central Asia.
The Caucasus Mountains
Dramatic, snow-dusted peaks stretching between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.
Northern Lights
During winter flights, the left side offers a prime vantage point for spotting the Aurora Borealis over the North Atlantic.
The left side is ideal for night owls hoping to catch the Aurora Borealis during the winter. For daytime segments over Central Asia, keep the window shade partially closed to manage the intense glare of the high-altitude sun.
