Which side of the plane to sit from Jessore Airport (Jessore) to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the massive Padma River and its complex delta systems, providing a clear view of the iconic Padma Bridge and the southern urban sprawl of Dhaka during the final approach.
The Padma River
Witness the immense scale of the Ganges as it merges into the Padma, displaying massive sandbars known locally as Chars.
Padma Bridge
A landmark view of the country's longest bridge, spanning the mighty river and connecting the southwest to the capital.
Buriganga River Traffic
Dense clusters of traditional country boats and large passenger launches navigating the historic waterways of Old Dhaka.
Dhaka Urban Sprawl
The dramatic transition from rural wetlands to the incredibly dense high-rise architecture of Central and South Dhaka.
The right side is premier for evening flights; the sunset reflecting off the vast river waters is breathtaking. Keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes into the flight for the best river views, and look for the Padma Bridge roughly south of the flight path.
Jessore Rural Landscapes
Infinite patchwork of emerald green rice paddies and seasonal vegetable clusters characteristic of the Khulna division.
Madhumati River Tributaries
Aerial views of the winding, silt-laden water channels that carve through the rural heartland of southwestern Bangladesh.
Savar Industrial Belt
A view of the rapid industrialization zones and garment factories on the northern outskirts of Dhaka before landing.
Sit on the left side during morning flights (typically flights departing before 10:00 AM) to minimize harsh sun glare from the south. This side provides a softer light for photographing the intricate agricultural patterns of the delta.
