HYD → BBI
Which side of the plane to sit from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad) to Biju Patnaik Airport (Bhubaneswar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Eastern Ghats mountain range and the expansive Chilika Lake during the descent into Bhubaneswar.
Eastern Ghats
Magnificent views of the undulating green peaks and valleys of the Eastern Ghats mountain range.
Chilika Lake
Asia's largest brackish water lagoon is often visible in its full glory during the approach to BBI airport.
Bay of Bengal Coastline
Glimpses of the blue horizon and the coastal plains of Odisha as the flight path aligns with the coast.
Dhauli Shanti Stupa
The white peace pagoda on Dhauli Hill can sometimes be spotted on the final approach into Bhubaneswar.
The right side is highly recommended for evening flights to catch the sunset over the hills. Ensure you book a window seat away from the wings for an unobstructed view of Chilika Lake.
Hyderabad Cityscape
Aerial views of the sprawling city of Hyderabad and the Musi River during the initial climb.
Godavari River
A clear view of the wide, sandy riverbeds and bridges of the Godavari River near the Telangana-Odisha border.
Nallamala Foothills
The edge of the dense forest reserves and the rugged terrain of the northern Deccan plateau.
Mahanadi Basin
The lush green agricultural landscapes of the Mahanadi delta region as the plane prepares for landing.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and for a better view of the urban landscape of Hyderabad during departure.
