Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Malaysian coastline upon departure, potential glimpses of the Andaman Islands, and the most expansive perspective of the intricate Ganges Delta and Sundarbans mangroves during descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Klang Valley

A sprawling view of the Greater Kuala Lumpur area and the Titiwangsa Mountains in the distance after takeoff.

🏝️

Andaman Archipelago

Depending on the specific flight corridor, look out for the northern islands of the Andaman chain surrounded by coral reefs.

🌿

Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta

Witness the world's largest delta with its labyrinth of rivers, silt-rich waters, and lush green islands.

🌆

Kolkata Cityscape

Get a bird's-eye view of the dense urban sprawl of Kolkata, including Salt Lake and New Town areas, as the plane turns for its final approach.

This is the preferred side for sunset flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, allowing for clear photography of the Sundarbans. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to fully appreciate the complex river networks of the delta which are the highlight of this route.

Left Side Highlights
6.4
🚢

Straits of Malacca

View the world's busiest shipping lanes with numerous cargo ships and tankers shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Bay of Bengal

Cross the vast, deep blue expanse of the bay where the weather patterns often create dramatic cloud formations.

🐊

West Sundarbans

Catch the western edges of the massive mangrove forest and the Hooghly River estuary before landing.

Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It provides a great view of the shipping traffic leaving the Malay Peninsula and the maritime activity near the Port of Kolkata during final approach.
