KWIDAC

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the rugged Iranian coast, the vast Thar Desert, and the intricate river systems of northern India and Bangladesh.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Zagros Mountains

Distant views of the dramatic, snow-capped peaks of the Iranian highlands shortly after crossing the Gulf.

🏜️

Thar Desert

The golden sands and arid landscapes of Rajasthan provide a stark and beautiful contrast during the mid-flight segment.

🌊

Ganges River System

Observe the massive, winding tributaries of the Ganges as they snake across the northern Indian plains.

🌃

Dhaka Cityscape

A dense, shimmering carpet of lights as you approach Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at night.

🚜

Bengal Basin

Lush green agricultural patches and small villages characteristic of the fertile Bengal delta.

Choose the left side for better chances of seeing the Himalayan foothills in the far distance on exceptionally clear days. For overnight flights, the left side avoids direct sun glare during the morning arrival in Dhaka.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Persian Gulf

Deep blue waters and offshore oil rigs are visible immediately after departure from Kuwait.

🏙️

Coastal UAE

Distant glimpses of the Arabian Peninsula's northern coast and the urban sprawl of the Gulf cities.

🌄

Deccan Plateau

The ancient, weathered terrain of central India, showing unique geological formations and seasonal greenery.

🏝️

The Sundarbans

The fringes of the world's largest mangrove forest can be seen when the flight path arcs southernly towards the Bay of Bengal.

🛳️

Chittagong Coastline

Vessels waiting in the Bay of Bengal and the industrial landscape of the Bangladeshi coast during the final descent.

The right side is ideal for catching the sunset if you are on a late afternoon flight heading east. It also provides better views of the Bay of Bengal coastline if the flight path takes a more southerly approach into Bangladesh.
