Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the rugged Al Hajar mountain range during departure and the dramatic, lush ascent of the Western Ghats upon entering Indian airspace.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Al Hajar Mountains

Stunning views of Oman's jagged limestone peaks immediately after takeoff from Muscat.

๐ŸŒŠ

Gulf of Oman Coastline

A clear view of the turquoise waters meeting the desert sands as the plane heads southeast.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

The Western Ghats

As the flight nears India, you will see the dramatic, mist-covered mountain range that runs parallel to the western coast.

๐Ÿ›ค๏ธ

Karnataka Hinterlands

Rich agricultural patterns and red soil landscapes characteristic of rural Karnataka during the descent.

๐ŸŒ…

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 (Juneโ€“September).

Right Side Highlights
7.2
๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Muscat Cityscape

An excellent view of the white-washed architecture and the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque shortly after departure.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Qurum Beach

The long stretch of Muscat's popular coastline and urban waterfront.

๐Ÿšข

Shipping Lanes

Spot large tankers and cargo ships navigating the busy maritime routes of the Arabian Sea.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Konkan Coastline

Distant views of the sandy beaches of the Indian west coast as the aircraft makes landfall.

๐Ÿข

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.
