Which side of the plane to sit from Ludhiana Airport (Ludhiaha) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the industrial landscape of Ludhiana during takeoff and a clearer perspective of the urban density and historic corridor leading into North Delhi. On exceptionally clear days, the distant silhouette of the Himalayan foothills may be visible to the northeast.
Ludhiana Industrial Hub
Immediate views of the dense textile mills and manufacturing clusters that define Punjab's industrial heartland.
Punjab-Haryana Grain Belt
A vast, geometric patchwork of wheat and paddy fields that changes color dramatically with the seasons.
Ghaggar Riverbed
The winding path of the seasonal Ghaggar river, cutting through the agricultural plains.
Panipat Industrial Corridor
Views of the massive refineries and historic urban sprawl along the Grand Trunk Road.
North Delhi Urban Sprawl
A bird's eye view of the dense residential blocks of Rohini and Pitampura as the plane descends.
Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you for better photography. Visibility is highest from March to May; during winter (December-January), expect heavy smog or fog which may obscure all ground details. Try to sit ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze.
Sirhind Canal
One of the oldest and largest irrigation canals in the region, visible shortly after departure from Ludhiana.
Rural Haryana Vistas
Expansive views of the more traditional rural settlements and smaller farming hamlets of central Haryana.
Western Peripheral Expressway
The massive KMP Expressway loop that circles the National Capital Region is clearly visible during the approach.
The Delhi Ridge
Patches of the green lung of Delhi, featuring tropical thorny forest terrain near the airport perimeter.
IGI Airport Complex
Excellent views of the sprawling terminal buildings and the intricate taxiway systems of Delhi Airport during the final turn.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Haryana plains. While entering Delhi, this side often provides a better perspective of the massive scale of the IGI Airport infrastructure during the final approach pattern.
