KHI → BOM
Which side of the plane to sit from Jinnah International Airport (Karachi) to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a continuous panorama of the diverse landscape, from the intricate Indus Delta to the unique white salt flats of the Rann of Kutch and the industrial coastline of Gujarat.
Indus River Delta
A vast, complex network of channels and mangrove forests where the Indus River meets the Arabian Sea.
Great Rann of Kutch
The world's largest salt desert, appearing as a shimmering white expanse during the dry season.
Gulf of Kutch
A deep water inlet featuring busy maritime traffic near the major ports of Mundra and Kandla.
Jamnagar Industrial Belt
Visible views of massive oil refineries and industrial complexes that light up spectacularly at night.
North Mumbai Suburbs
Dense urban sprawl and the Sanjay Gandhi National Park as the aircraft begins its final descent into BOM.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while viewing the land. This side provides the best view of the geographical transition between Pakistan and India. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the Indus Delta patterns.
Karachi Coastline
Aerial views of Manora Island, Sandspit, and the busy shipping lanes of Karachi Port immediately after takeoff.
Arabian Sea Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the open ocean, providing stunning orange and purple hues during sunset flights.
Maritime Vessels
Dozens of cargo ships and tankers anchored in the outer channel of Mumbai's harbor during the approach.
Bandra-Worli Sea Link
If the flight approaches from the south or performs a loop, you may catch a glimpse of this iconic bridge.
Select the right side for evening flights to experience the sunset over the ocean. During landing, if the aircraft uses Runway 27, this side often provides a broader view of the coastline and the Arabian Sea. It is generally quieter visually but very serene.
