GANKDM

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Addu Atoll island chain during departure and a more expansive panorama of the Huvadhu Atoll's interior lagoon and reef systems during the descent into Kaadedhdhoo.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏘️

Addu Causeway

See the impressive road link connecting Gan to the islands of Feydhoo, Maradhoo, and Hithadhoo.

💠

Huvadhu Lagoon

Marvel at the sheer scale and deep turquoise hues of one of the world's largest and deepest atoll lagoons.

🏝️

Villingili View

Look for the luxury resorts and lush vegetation of the islands situated on the southern rim of the atoll.

Sit on the right for the best perspective of the inhabited islands of Addu Atoll immediately after takeoff from Gan. During the approach to Kaadedhdhoo, the right side typically provides a better angle of the inner atoll structure. Mid-day flights provide the most vibrant water colors due to the high sun position.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Addu Western Fringe

View the outer reef edge and the breaking surf of the southernmost tip of the Maldives archipelago.

🌐

The Equator

Cross the 0-degree latitude line over the deep blue waters of the One and a Half Degree Channel.

🐚

Outer Gaafu Dhaalu

Spot secluded, untouched sandbanks and small uninhabited islands on the southwestern edge of Huvadhu.

The left side is excellent for capturing the vastness of the Indian Ocean during the equatorial crossing. To avoid harsh sun glare, choose this side for late afternoon flights when the sun is to the west, though morning flights offer better lighting for photography of the turquoise reef edges.
