Which side of the plane to sit from Chandigarh Airport (Chandigarh) to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior landing experience into Mumbai, featuring the Arabian Sea coastline and the iconic city skyline during the final approach.
Indo-Gangetic Plains
A vast, geometric patchwork of agricultural fields stretching across Punjab and Haryana.
Aravalli Range
View the world's oldest fold mountains cutting through the desert landscapes of Rajasthan.
Gulf of Khambhat
Aerial views of the Gujarat coastline and the muddy estuaries where rivers meet the Arabian Sea.
Mumbai Skyline
On the standard approach to Runway 27, see the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and the skyscrapers of South Mumbai.
Arabian Sea
Stunning vistas of the ocean and shipping vessels waiting near the Mumbai port during the final descent.
The right side is highly recommended for the arrival into Mumbai. If the flight lands from the west (Runway 27), you will have an unobstructed view of the coast and the city's famous skyline. For sunset flights, this side provides spectacular views of the sun dipping into the Arabian Sea.
Shivalik Foothills
Immediately after departure from IXC, catch glimpses of the lower Himalayan ranges to the northeast.
Delhi NCR Sprawl
The massive urban expanse of India's capital is often visible as the flight path skirts the eastern edge of Delhi.
Vindhya Range
Rugged, ancient rock formations and plateau landscapes as the flight crosses Central India into Maharashtra.
Western Ghats
Dense green ridges of the Sahyadri mountains visible during the descent into the Konkan region.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the soft sunrise light over the plains. It is also the better side for viewing the initial ascent near the mountains. During monsoon season (June-Sept), the Western Ghats on this side appear exceptionally lush and vibrant.
