Which side of the plane to sit from Newark Liberty International Airport (Newark) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers the most dramatic views, including the Greenland ice sheet, potential Northern Lights displays over the Arctic, and a closer look at the Himalayan foothills during descent.
Greenland Ice Sheet
Stunning aerial views of massive glaciers and deep blue fjords during the first third of the journey.
Northern Lights
On nighttime flights in winter, the northern horizon often glows with the Aurora Borealis over the Arctic Circle.
Ural Mountains
The natural border between Europe and Asia provides a rugged, snowy landscape as you cross Russia.
The Himalayas
Dramatic views of the world's highest mountain range appear as the flight turns south toward Delhi.
Scandinavian Coast
If the path tracks north, the jagged coastlines and lights of Norway and Sweden are visible.
Book a seat well ahead of the wing to ensure unobstructed views of Greenland. For night flights, bring a dark shirt or blanket to shroud your head against the window; this blocks cabin reflections, making it much easier to spot the Northern Lights over the North Atlantic.
Atlantic Canada
Early flight views of the rocky coastlines of Nova Scotia and the island of Newfoundland.
Caspian Sea
The vast, shimmering expanse of the world's largest inland body of water is visible over Central Asia.
Central Asian Steppes
Unique desert topography and winding river systems across Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
Delhi Urban Sprawl
An impressive view of the massive National Capital Region and the Yamuna River during final approach.
The right side is ideal for watching the sunrise as you fly east over the Eurasian continent. During the final hour of flight, keep your camera ready for the transition from the arid plains of Central Asia to the densely populated urban grid of Delhi.
