Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft is superior for this route as it offers a glimpse of the Rann of Kutch salt marshes and the dramatic, jagged Hajar Mountains upon the approach into Muscat.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🕌

Lucknow Landmarks

A clear view of the 'City of Nawabs' and its historical architecture during the initial climb.

🧂

Rann of Kutch

The unique, vast white salt marshes of Gujarat visible as the flight transitions toward the sea.

⚓

Gujarat Coastline

Industrial ports and the complex geography of the Gulf of Kutch as the aircraft leaves the Indian mainland.

⛰️

Hajar Mountains

The most dramatic part of the flight, featuring the dark, rugged limestone peaks of Oman as you enter Omani airspace.

🏖️

Gulf of Oman

The beautiful contrast between the turquoise coastal waters and the rocky Omani shoreline just before landing.

The right side (Seat A) is highly recommended for the descent into Muscat. Depending on the wind direction, you will either see the stunning Hajar mountain range or the pristine coastline of the Gulf of Oman. For the best photography of the Rann of Kutch, ensure you have a window seat away from the wing.

🌾

Indo-Gangetic Plain

Lush green agricultural patterns and the winding rivers of Uttar Pradesh shortly after takeoff.

🏜️

Thar Desert Fringe

The southern edges of the Great Indian Desert with its shifting golden sands and arid landscapes.

🌊

Arabian Sea Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Arabian Sea, perfect for spotting the sun setting over the water on evening flights.

🏙️

Muscat City Expansion

Aerial views of the suburban sprawl of Seeb and Al Khoudh during the final descent.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to witness a spectacular sunset over the Arabian Sea. It is also the side to be on if you want to avoid direct glare from the sun during morning departures from Lucknow.
