Continuous views of the Bay of Bengal coastline stretching from Chennai down towards Pondicherry.

For the best experience, book a morning flight to see the sun rising over the Bay of Bengal. The light at this time perfectly highlights the contrast between the turquoise ocean and the emerald green of the mangrove forests. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to catch the coastal resorts of Mahabalipuram.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as it avoids the harsh glare of the sun reflecting off the sea. It offers a great perspective on the vastness of the rural interior. Look out for the numerous 'Eris' (traditional stone-built water tanks) that dot the landscape, which are particularly beautiful during the monsoon season.
