Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Andaman Islands archipelago and provides more favorable lighting conditions by avoiding direct southern sun glare during the westbound journey.

Kedah Coastline
Beautiful views of the northwestern Malaysian coast and Langkawi island in the distance.
Andaman Archipelago
Clear views of the major island clusters, including Port Blair and the surrounding emerald isles.
Godavari Delta
The massive, intricate waterway system where the Godavari River meets the Bay of Bengal.
Maharashtra Heartland
Views of expanding industrial corridors and large water reservoirs like the Ujani Dam.
Mumbai Skyline
Views of the Thane Creek, salt pans, and the dense urban sprawl of northern Mumbai during landing.
Choose the right side to see the Andaman Islands roughly 90 minutes into the flight. For the best approach views into BOM, the right side usually provides a better look at the city's geography if the plane lands on Runway 27. Post-monsoon (October to December) provides the clearest air and most vibrant green landscapes across India.

Malacca Strait
One of the world's busiest shipping lanes, visible shortly after departure with numerous cargo ships.
Andaman Sea
Deep blue waters contrasting with the lighter turquoise of the submerged reefs near the southern islands.
Eastern Ghats
The rugged coastal mountain range of India as the flight makes landfall over Andhra Pradesh.
Deccan Plateau
A patchwork of agricultural fields and rural landscapes across central southern India.
Western Ghats
The dramatic, lush green escarpment that marks the final descent toward the Arabian Sea coast.
The left side is excellent for viewing the steep ridges of the Western Ghats during the final 20 minutes of the flight. However, on daytime flights, this side often experiences significant glare from the sun as it tracks across the southern sky. Seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Indian coastline.
