IXD → BOM
Which side of the plane to sit from Allahabad Airport (Allahabad) to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior primarily for the immediate aerial view of the Triveni Sangam after takeoff and the dramatic approach over the Western Ghats into Mumbai.
Triveni Sangam
The sacred confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers visible shortly after departure from IXD.
Vindhya Range
Ancient mountain ridges that define the border between Northern and Southern India.
Narmada River
Aerial view of one of India's most significant rivers as it flows through the rocky central corridor.
Satpura Mountains
Dense forest cover and rugged terrain of the Satpura Tiger Reserve region.
Western Ghats
Dramatic cliff faces and lush greenery of the Sahyadri range during the descent into the Konkan region.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Sangam at Prayagraj. Choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the rivers and the green slopes of the Western Ghats. On approach to BOM, you will see the dense urban sprawl of Navi Mumbai and the creek.
Yamuna River
The winding path of the Yamuna as it flows towards the south-east near the flight path's start.
Bundelkhand Plateau
Unique rocky outcrops and arid landscapes characteristic of central Madhya Pradesh.
Malwa Region
Expansive agricultural plains and black-soil farming clusters visible during the cruise phase.
Mumbai North Suburbs
Views of Sanjay Gandhi National Park and the high-rises of Borivali and Kandivali during descent.
Arabian Sea Horizon
Distant views of the coastline and the sun setting over the sea on late afternoon flights.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Arabian Sea as you approach Mumbai. If the aircraft approaches from the north, you might get a glimpse of the Vasai-Virar coastline and the lush green cover of the national park.
