JAI → AMD
Which side of the plane to sit from Jaipur International Airport (Jaipur) to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (Ahmedabad)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Aravalli Range and the planned greenery of Gandhinagar before landing at Ahmedabad.
Jaipur's Pink City
Aerial views of the historic walled city and the Hawa Mahal complex shortly after takeoff.
Aravalli Range Peaks
Extended views of the ancient folded mountain range running parallel to the flight path.
Dharoi Dam
A massive reservoir on the Sabarmati River visible as you cross the Rajasthan-Gujarat border.
Gandhinagar Green Belt
The lush tree cover of Gujarat's capital city, known as one of the world's greenest cities.
Sabarmati Riverfront
Clear views of the developed riverfront parks and promenades on the final approach into AMD.
Book an early morning flight for soft light hitting the Aravalli ridges. Avoid seats over the wing (usually rows 12-22) to ensure a clear view of the Sabarmati riverfront during the descent. The left side also avoids direct glare from the harsh afternoon sun on this southbound route.
Sambhar Salt Lake
India's largest inland salt lake can be spotted in the distance to the northwest shortly after takeoff.
Thar Desert Fringes
Observe the transition from the semi-arid Marwar region to the more fertile plains of North Gujarat.
Mount Abu Distance
On clear days, the distant silhouette of Rajasthan's only hill station can be seen on the horizon.
Ahmedabad City Skyline
A sprawling view of the rapidly growing urban landscape of western Ahmedabad during the landing sequence.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights to catch the 'Golden Hour' over the Rajasthan desert. Keep an eye out for the white patches of salt pans in the distance early in the flight. In winter, visibility might be lower due to morning haze, making afternoon flights better for this side.
