Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a continuous view of the Indian coastline, the Eastern Ghats mountain range, and the expansive river deltas of West Bengal and Bangladesh.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏖️

Marina Beach

An aerial view of the world's second longest urban beach immediately after takeoff from Chennai.

⛰️

Eastern Ghats

Rugged mountain terrain and green valleys visible as the flight tracks north along the coast of Andhra Pradesh.

🌊

Chilika Lake

Asia's largest brackish water lagoon, easily identifiable by its unique shape along the Odisha coast.

🏙️

Kolkata Suburbs

Distant views of the sprawling urban landscape of West Bengal as the plane nears the Bangladeshi border.

🌾

Bengal Delta

A mesmerizing patchwork of emerald green rice paddies and winding silver rivers that define the landscape of southern Bangladesh.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun over the Bay of Bengal. During the monsoon season, look for the dramatic cloud formations building up over the Eastern Ghats. This side offers the most consistent land-based landmarks throughout the 2.5-hour journey.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Bay of Bengal

Deep blue oceanic expanses during the mid-flight segment, occasionally featuring cargo ships and fishing vessels.

🌳

The Sundarbans

The world's largest mangrove forest, visible as a dense dark green canopy where the land meets the sea.

💧

Padma River

The massive channel of the Ganges as it flows into Bangladesh, showcasing impressive width and shifting silt islands.

🏙️

Dhaka Cityscape

A dense urban panorama during the final descent, showcasing the rapid growth and colorful rooftops of the capital.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset reflecting off the many rivers of the delta. It offers a more direct view of the Sundarbans mangroves during the descent. Pay close attention during the final 20 minutes of flight for the intricate network of the Padma and Jamuna river systems.
