Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the dramatic Chambal ravines and a better chance to spot iconic South Delhi landmarks during the descent into IGI Airport.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏞️

Chambal Ravines

Stunning aerial views of the deep, maze-like badland topography carved by the Chambal River near the MP-Rajasthan border.

🌊

Yamuna River

Follow the winding silver thread of the Yamuna River as it meanders toward the capital city.

🗼

South Delhi Heritage

Clear views of the Qutub Minar, Lotus Temple, and the dense greenery of the Southern Ridge during the descent into runway 28 or 29.

The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun is positioned to your east, perfectly illuminating the textures of the Chambal ravines without creating glare on your window. To avoid wing obstruction, choose seats in the front third or the very rear of the cabin.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Indore Cityscape

Comprehensive aerial views of India's cleanest city and the surrounding Malwa plateau immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Aravalli Outskirts

Distant views of the weathered ridges of the Aravalli Range stretching across the Rajasthan border.

🏢

Gurugram Skyline

Close-up views of the modern glass skyscrapers and Cyber City as the aircraft aligns for its final approach.

Opt for the left side on evening flights (typically departures around 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM) to witness the sunset over the Rajasthan horizon. This side is also best for viewing the rapid urban transition from rural Haryana to the NCR metropolis.
