Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Pearl River Delta's engineering marvels upon departure and the sprawling river networks of Myanmar and the Bengal Delta during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌉

HK-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge

A bird's-eye view of the world's longest sea-crossing bridge and the man-made islands near Macau.

🏞️

Irrawaddy River

The serpentine curves of Myanmar's most important commercial waterway cutting through the central dry zone.

🌾

Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta

An incredible tapestry of emerald-green paddy fields and endless interlocking river channels near the destination.

🏙️

Dhaka Cityscape

A dense urban sprawl that reveals itself during the final descent into Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.

Sit on the right side for the best chance to see the Himalayan foothills in the far distance during clear winter months. Morning flights are ideal on this side to avoid the harsh glare of the afternoon sun. Use a window seat forward of the wing to clearly see the complex river confluences of the Meghna and Padma rivers.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

South China Sea

Expansive views of the azure waters and remote islands immediately after departing Lantau Island.

⛰️

Annamite Range

The rugged, forested mountains bordering Laos and Vietnam visible during the mid-flight cruise.

🌴

Chittagong Hill Tracts

Lush, rolling green hills and dense canopy as the aircraft enters Bangladeshi airspace from the southeast.

Choose the left side for sunset views on late afternoon flights. As you approach Dhaka, look for the silver glint of the Bay of Bengal to the south. During monsoon season (June–September), this side provides a dramatic perspective of massive cloud formations over the tropical plains.
