Gomati River
View the winding Gomati River as it flows from the Tripura hills into the plains of Bangladesh immediately after takeoff.
Meghna River Expanse
Cross over one of the widest rivers in the world, showcasing a massive silver ribbon of water cutting through the landscape.
Padma-Meghna Delta
Observe the unique 'char' lands (river islands) and the incredibly dense network of distributaries that define the geography of Bangladesh.
Kolkata Urban Sprawl
As the plane descends, enjoy a panoramic view of the Hooghly river and the dense urban layout of the City of Joy.
Book an early morning flight for the clearest visibility before the typical haze of the Gangetic delta sets in. During monsoon months (June-September), the rivers are at their peak volume and the landscape is an incredibly vibrant emerald green. Request a seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the river confluences.

Titas River Loops
Watch for the highly meandered Titas River near Brahmanbaria, forming intricate horseshoe patterns across the plains.

The right side is excellent for photography during sunset flights as it faces north, avoiding direct sun glare while capturing the warm 'golden hour' glow over the rural landscape. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff as the plane crosses the international border almost immediately.
