JED → HYD
Which side of the plane to sit from King Abdulaziz International Airport (Jeddah) to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the majestic Rub' al Khali sand dunes and a better angle for the dramatic landfall over the Western Ghats mountains in India.
The Empty Quarter
Stunning vistas of the Rub' al Khali, featuring massive star-shaped dunes and endless orange sands.
Al Hajar Mountains
The jagged, dramatic limestone peaks of northern Oman meeting the sea.
Konkan Coastline
The white sands and tropical estuaries of the Indian west coast near the Goa/Maharashtra border.
Western Ghats Waterfalls
During monsoon season (June-Sept), numerous waterfalls are visible cascading down the mountain face.
Deccan Plateau
Unique volcanic rock formations and ancient river beds leading into the Telangana region.
Opt for the right side on morning departures to see the sunrise over the Arabian Sea. For the best views of the Rub' al Khali dunes, ensure you are seated by the window during the first two hours of flight. Use a polarized lens for photos to cut through the desert haze.
Jeddah Waterfront
Aerial view of the Red Sea coast and the growing skyline of Jeddah upon departure.
Najd Plateau
The rugged, rocky heart of the Arabian Peninsula stretching towards Riyadh.
Dubai & UAE Coast
Glimpses of the glowing urban sprawl and the Burj Khalifa if the flight path tracks north of the UAE.
Gulf of Oman
Deep blue waters and heavy shipping traffic near the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
Northern Western Ghats
Lush green ridges and deep valleys as the plane enters Indian airspace over Maharashtra.
Choose this side for night flights to catch the glittering lights of Gulf metropolises. During the day, it offers better views of the northern Indian river systems like the Godavari as you approach Hyderabad.
