Which side of the plane to sit from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Kuala Lumpur) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior scenery, featuring the intricate Ganges Delta, the world's largest mangrove forest, and the majestic Himalayan peaks visible on the northern horizon during the latter half of the journey.
Irrawaddy Delta
The complex, winding river networks of coastal Myanmar visible to the north-east.
The Sunderbans
The world's largest mangrove forest system, appearing as a dense green carpet at the edge of the sea.
The Himalayas
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the world's highest mountain range are visible to the north.
Varanasi & The Ganges
The sacred Ganges River snaking through the plains, with the ancient city of Varanasi identifiable by its dense layout.
Kolkata Cityscape
The massive urban sprawl of West Bengal's capital and the iconic Hooghly River bridges.
Book a window seat on the right for morning flights to see the Himalayas illuminated by the sun. The best mountain views typically occur during the final 90 minutes of flight. Note that winter months often bring heavy smog/haze over North India, which can obscure ground details but often leaves the mountain peaks visible above the layer.
Andaman Archipelago
Emerald islands scattered across the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea shortly after departure.
Bay of Bengal
A vast, deep blue expanse that dominates the middle segment of the flight route.
Odisha Coastline
The point of entry into the Indian subcontinent, featuring the sprawling Mahanadi River delta.
Central Indian Plains
Geometric patterns of agricultural land across Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh.
For evening flights, the left side provides spectacular sunset views over the Bay of Bengal. It is generally the 'quieter' side for scenery until the final approach into Delhi, where you might see the sprawling urban landscape of the NCR.
