HYD → BKK
Which side of the plane to sit from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the scenic transition from the Indian subcontinent across the Bay of Bengal, featuring the dramatic Irrawaddy Delta and a better angle of the Bangkok urban sprawl upon arrival.
Hyderabad North
Aerial views of the Outer Ring Road and the expanding residential hubs of northern Hyderabad during initial climb.
Godavari Basin
The lush green agricultural landscapes of the Godavari River delta as the flight reaches the eastern coast of India.
Bay of Bengal Crossing
A vast expanse of deep blue water, often dotted with cargo ships on international shipping lanes.
Irrawaddy Delta
The intricate, maze-like river networks of Myanmar's coastline where sediment-rich waters meet the sea.
Dawna Range
Dense, forest-covered mountain ridges along the border between Myanmar and Thailand.
Bangkok Metropolitan Area
A sweeping view of the high-rise buildings and the winding Chao Phraya River during the final descent.
Book a seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Myanmar coastline. For daytime flights, the left side is shaded from the harsh southern sun, making it ideal for photography. During the monsoon season (June-September), watch for massive thunderhead clouds forming over the Bay of Bengal.
HITEC City
The modern glass towers of Hyderabad's technology district visible shortly after takeoff from RGIA.
Andhra Coastline
The golden sands of the Vizag coastline as the aircraft exits the Indian landmass.
Andaman Sea
Clear turquoise waters and occasional glimpses of remote islands if the flight path tracks slightly southward.
Mergui Archipelago
Distant views of the scattered, pristine islands off the southern coast of Myanmar.
Gulf of Thailand
The busy maritime traffic and fishing fleets gathered near the mouth of the Chao Phraya River.
Suvarnabhumi Approach
A direct view of the airport's distinctive architecture and cargo terminals if landing from the south.
The right side is excellent for catching the sunset on late afternoon flights, though glare can be intense. Keep an eye out for the Andaman Islands during the mid-flight segment; they often appear as small emerald gems in the sea. If the wind dictates a northern approach to BKK, this side offers views of the industrial ports.
