Mount Everest & Lhotse
Within 15-20 minutes of departure, the highest peaks on Earth are visible on the horizon.
Kangchenjunga
Clear views of the world's third-highest peak located on the border of Nepal and India.
Eastern Himalayas
A continuous panorama of snow-capped peaks stretching through Bhutan and into Tibet.
Irrawaddy River
The massive, winding river system that serves as the heart of Myanmar's geography.
Shan Plateau
The rugged, forested highlands of eastern Myanmar before crossing into Thailand.
Chao Phraya Basin
The intricate network of rice paddies and canals characterizing the central Thai plains.
Book an 'A' window seat for the most iconic views. Morning flights (08:00 - 11:00) are superior as the sun illuminates the Himalayas from the south, providing perfect lighting for photography. During the monsoon (June-Sept), clouds often obscure the mountains, making morning departures even more critical for a clear window.

Kathmandu Valley
A dense urban landscape surrounded by the lush green Shivapuri and Phulchowki hills.
Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta
The world's largest delta system, showcasing a complex web of silt-heavy rivers.
The Sundarbans
The vast, dark green expanse of the world's largest mangrove forest along the coast.
Bay of Bengal
Deep blue maritime views as the flight path tracks near the coast of Bangladesh and Myanmar.
Mergui Archipelago
Distant views of scattered tropical islands off the southern coast of Myanmar.
Bangkok Metro Area
The sprawling skyscrapers and dense infrastructure of Thailand's capital during the descent.
Choose a 'K' window seat if you prefer coastal geography over mountains. This side is better for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out about 45 minutes into the flight for the sediment-rich waters of the Bay of Bengal meeting the coastline, which creates striking color gradients in the water.
