KWIGOI

Which side of the plane to sit from Kuwait International Airport (Kuwait) to Dabolim Airport (Goa)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view during the arrival phase, showcasing the vast Arabian Sea and a panoramic sweep of Goa's world-famous coastline and river deltas as the aircraft descends into Dabolim.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🛢️

Burgan Oil Field

View one of the world's largest oil fields and its unique infrastructure shortly after departing Kuwait.

🏙️

Dubai & UAE Coast

Distant but often visible views of the UAE's massive urban developments and artificial islands.

🌊

Arabian Sea Expanse

A long stretch of deep blue waters with occasional sightings of cargo ships and tankers on international shipping lanes.

🏖️

South Goa Beaches

Uninterrupted views of the white sands of Colva, Benaulim, and Varca as the plane prepares for landing.

🚤

Zuari River Estuary

The beautiful meeting point of the Zuari river and the sea, flanking the airport's northern perimeter.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to capture the sunset over the Arabian Sea. Choose a seat away from the wing to get the best photos of the Goan shoreline, as the approach path usually follows the coastline closely before turning inland.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Kuwait City Skyline

Clear views of the urban landscape and the Kuwait Towers immediately after takeoff from KWI.

🏔️

Hajar Mountains

The rugged, dark peaks of the Al Hajar range in Oman are visible as the flight crosses the tip of the Arabian Peninsula.

⛰️

Western Ghats

On the final approach to Goa, the lush green mountain range of India's west coast appears in the distance.

🏗️

Mormugao Port

Industrial views of the major shipping hub and harbor just north of the airport during the descent.

For night flights, the left side provides a better view of the coastal cities of Oman and the dense lights of the Indian Konkan coast. During morning flights, sit here to avoid the direct glare of the sun as you travel southeast.
