Victoria Harbour
A stunning glimpse of the Kowloon and Hong Kong Island skyscrapers if the plane departs towards the east before turning west.
Indo-Gangetic Plain
The intricate patterns of the massive river systems and agricultural heartlands of Northern India.
Makran Coastline
The dramatic, alien-looking mud volcanoes and jagged rock formations along the coast of Pakistan and Iran.
The World Islands
The famous man-made archipelago shaped like a world map visible just minutes before landing.
Burj Khalifa
Unmatched views of the world's tallest building and the dense Dubai International Financial Centre skyline on the standard approach.
The right side is essential for the 'money shot' of Dubai. During the descent into DXB, planes often fly over the Persian Gulf and turn back toward the city, putting the Burj Khalifa and downtown directly in view. Use a window seat behind the wing for the clearest views of the Iranian coastline's geological wonders.

Aerial views of the Big Buddha and the sprawling Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge shortly after takeoff.
Andaman Sea
Clear views of the remote islands and turquoise waters off the southern coast of Myanmar.
Western Ghats
The lush, UNESCO-listed mountain range running along the western coast of the Indian subcontinent.
Arabian Sea Sunset
Vibrant orange and purple horizons if flying on an afternoon departure toward the west.
Choose the left side for optimal lighting during afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun glare. It is the better side for observing the southern tip of the Indian peninsula and the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean.
