Al Hajar Mountains
Stunning views of Oman's jagged limestone peaks immediately after takeoff from Muscat.
Gulf of Oman Coastline
A clear view of the turquoise waters meeting the desert sands as the plane heads southeast.
The Western Ghats
As the flight nears India, you will see the dramatic, mist-covered mountain range that runs parallel to the western coast.
Karnataka Hinterlands
Rich agricultural patterns and red soil landscapes characteristic of rural Karnataka during the descent.
Arabian Sea Horizon
Vast, uninterrupted views of the sea horizon, particularly beautiful during early morning or evening flights.
Book a window seat on the left side (Port) for the best experience. On morning flights, this side faces away from the direct sun for the majority of the journey, reducing glare. Look out about 40 minutes before landing to spot the dense forest cover of the Western Ghats, which is especially vibrant during the monsoon season (June–September).

Muscat Cityscape
An excellent view of the white-washed architecture and the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque shortly after departure.
Qurum Beach
The long stretch of Muscat's popular coastline and urban waterfront.
Shipping Lanes
Spot large tankers and cargo ships navigating the busy maritime routes of the Arabian Sea.
Konkan Coastline
Distant views of the sandy beaches of the Indian west coast as the aircraft makes landfall.
North Bangalore Expansion
Views of the rapidly developing tech parks and residential clusters near Kempegowda International Airport.
The right side (Starboard) is ideal for capturing the urban layout of Muscat. However, be aware that on afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, which can make the cabin hot and photography difficult due to reflection. During the final approach to BLR, this side provides a better perspective of the growing urban infrastructure surrounding the airport.
