Lucknow Departure
A full view of the Gomti River and the expanding cityscape of Lucknow immediately after takeoff.
Thar Desert
Vast stretches of golden sand dunes and arid landscapes as the flight crosses Rajasthan.
Rann of Kutch
The unique white salt marshes and coastal transition near the border of India and Pakistan.
Arabian Sea
Expansive views of deep blue waters, often reflecting vibrant orange hues during sunset flights.
Dubai Downtown
The most iconic view of the Burj Khalifa and the dense skyscraper clusters on the final approach into DXB.
For the best experience, book a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Late afternoon flights (departing around 4 PM) are ideal as you will witness a spectacular sunset over the Arabian Sea. During the descent into Dubai, stay alert for the Burj Khalifa which usually appears on the left as the plane aligns with the runway.
