Which side of the plane to sit from Jodhpur Airport (Jodhpur) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a more geographically diverse experience, featuring the ancient Aravalli mountain folds and the distinctive white expanse of the Sambhar Salt Lake.
Aravalli Range
Fly parallel to one of the world's oldest fold mountain systems, characterized by weathered ridges.
Sambhar Salt Lake
India's largest inland salt lake, which appears as a vast, shimmering white basin from high altitude.
Jaipur Horizon
On clear days, the distant sprawl of the Pink City and its surrounding hill forts are visible to the south.
Cyber City Skyline
During the descent into Delhi, enjoy a close-up view of Gurugram's modern glass skyscrapers and high-rises.
IGI Approach
An expansive view of the sprawling Indira Gandhi International Airport complex during the final landing phase.
The right side is the premier choice for this route due to the Aravalli views. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Sambhar Lake, which usually appears about 20-25 minutes into the flight. For evening flights, the sunset provides a dramatic backdrop to the Gurugram skyline during the approach to Delhi.
Mehrangarh Fort
Immediately after takeoff, catch a glimpse of the massive 15th-century fortress looming over the 'Blue City'.
Thar Desert Edge
Observe the arid topography and shifting sands that define the landscape of Western Rajasthan.
Rajasthani Hamlets
View the unique circular patterns of traditional desert settlements and remote agricultural plots.
Haryana Plains
A sharp transition from desert browns to the vibrant greens of the well-irrigated northern plains.
For the best visibility of the desert landscape, choose a morning flight to avoid the midday haze. The left side is particularly good for photographing the Jodhpur city layout during the initial climb. In winter, keep an eye out for early morning ground fog which creates a mystical atmosphere over the rural villages.
