Which side of the plane to sit from Birsa Munda Airport (Ranchi) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally preferred for this route as it offers better perspectives of the winding Ganges River and the famous Sangam confluence at Prayagraj.

Prayagraj Sangam
The sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and mythical Saraswati rivers is often visible mid-flight.
Ganges Meanders
Stunning aerial views of the sacred river as it carves wide loops through the fertile Uttar Pradesh plains.
Distant Himalayas
On exceptionally clear days, especially post-monsoon, the faint silhouette of the snowy peaks can be seen far to the north.
Noida Cityscape
Views of the high-rise developments and the Yamuna Expressway as the plane prepares to enter the Delhi NCR air corridor.
The Prayagraj confluence is the highlight; look for it roughly 40 minutes into the flight. For the best views of the river systems, choose a morning flight to avoid the afternoon haze common over the Gangetic plains.
