Which side of the plane to sit from Muscat International Airport (Muscat) to Shah Amanat International Airport (Chittagong)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an exceptional perspective of the Rann of Kutch salt flats in India and a breathtaking view of the Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest, during the approach to Bangladesh.
Rann of Kutch
The expansive white salt marshes of Gujarat provide a surreal landscape visible upon entering Indian airspace.
Ahmedabad & Gandhinagar
Clear views of the urban layouts and the Sabarmati River as the flight crosses western India.
Sundarbans Delta
A stunning aerial view of the labyrinthine waterways and dense mangroves of the Bengal Delta.
Chittagong Cityscape
The dense urban density of Chittagong and the Karnaphuli River during the final descent.
Choose a morning flight to witness the stark contrast of the salt flats under high sun. During the monsoon season (June-September), the Sundarbans appear remarkably vibrant green, but cloud cover can be thick; early morning or late afternoon flights provide the best shadows for depth perception over the delta.
Al Hajar Mountains
Dramatic views of the rugged Omani mountain range shortly after takeoff from Muscat.
Arabian Sea Crossing
A vast expanse of deep blue water, often showing patterns of marine currents and cargo ships.
Odisha Coastline
The transition from the Indian subcontinent into the Bay of Bengal along the eastern coast.
Bhatiari Ship Breaking
An unusual and fascinating view of the massive beached ships at the world-famous ship-breaking yards near Chittagong.
Sit on this side for sunset views if flying in the late afternoon, as the sun will be behind you or to the side. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of flight for the unique sight of the ship-breaking yards along the coast, which are most prominent on this side during a standard approach from the west.
