European Heartland
Aerial views of major hubs like Brussels and Frankfurt shortly after departure.
Black Sea Coast
Deep blue vistas of the Black Sea as the aircraft transits toward the Middle East.
Elburz Mountains
The rugged, often snow-capped peaks of northern Iran provide a dramatic landscape.
Iranian Plateau
Intricate patterns of the Dasht-e Kavir salt desert visible in the moonlight or twilight.
Indian Sunrise
A breathtaking sunrise over the Deccan Plateau as the flight nears its destination.
Most flights from London to Bangalore are overnight, departing in the afternoon or evening. Sit on the Left Side to avoid direct sunlight during the late afternoon departure and to enjoy the spectacular sunrise over India. The Left Side also offers better views of the Iranian mountain ranges. Arrival in Bangalore is usually early morning; use the Left Side for the best lighting over the Deccan Plateau as you descend.

Persian Gulf Lights
The glowing urban grids of Kuwait City, Dammam, or Dubai during the night transit.
Arabian Sea
A vast, moonlit expanse of the Arabian Sea during the final long leg toward India.
Konkan Coastline
The distant sparkle of India's western shores near Goa and Karwar.
Western Ghats

The Right Side is preferable if you want to see the bright lights of the Persian Gulf cities at night. This side will face south during the flight, meaning you may see the glow of the UAE or Oman. However, be aware that you will be facing the sun during the arrival into Bangalore, which can be quite bright as the plane turns south-east.
