Search flights from IXZ to CCU
Havelock & Neil Islands
Spot the white sands and turquoise waters of Swaraj Dweep and Shaheed Dweep shortly after takeoff.
Ritchie's Archipelago
A stunning bird's-eye view of the cluster of smaller emerald islands scattered in the sea.
Sundarbans National Park
The world's largest mangrove forest appears as a massive green maze of islands and winding tidal rivers.
Haldia Industrial Port
Observe the heavy shipping traffic and industrial infrastructure where the Haldi River meets the Hooghly.
Greater Kolkata
The dense urban sprawl and the winding Hooghly River become clearly visible in the final minutes of flight.
The right side is the clear winner for scenic variety. For the best views of the Sundarbans, choose a flight arriving between 10 AM and 3 PM when the sun is high, reducing reflections on the water channels. Ensure you have a window seat ahead of or behind the wing to see the island clusters clearly.

North Andaman Coastline
View the rugged, densely forested terrain of the main Andaman landmass as you climb out of Port Blair.
Bay of Bengal Expanse
A long stretch of deep blue waters, often reflecting the sun during midday flights.
Bhitarkanika Boundary
Upon reaching the mainland, the flight often passes near the estuaries of Odisha, home to unique mangrove ecosystems.
West Bengal Plains
Lush green agricultural fields and rural settlements visible as the plane descends towards the Hooghly region.
Sit on the left if you prefer seeing the main Andaman landmass during departure. During the monsoon season (June-September), this side often experiences less direct glare from the sun during morning flights, making it easier to spot the coastline through cloud gaps.
