MCT → COK
Which side of the plane to sit from Muscat International Airport (Muscat) to Cochin International Airport (Kochi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a superior view of the Muscat coastline upon departure and a stunning panorama of the Kochi skyline and the vast Vembanad Lake during the final approach into Kerala.
Muscat Skyline
A clear view of the Omani capital's white architecture nestled between the mountains and the sea.
Bandar Khayran
Stunning turquoise bays and rugged limestone cliffs along the Omani coast south of the city.
Arabian Sea Transit
Observation of the busy maritime corridors filled with international cargo ships and oil tankers.
Kochi Port
The bustling sea port and historic Fort Kochi area are often visible during the final descent.
Vembanad Lake
India's longest lake provides a magnificent watery landscape just before touchdown at COK.
The right side is ideal for evening arrivals to catch the sunset over the Arabian Sea. On approach to COK, this side provides the best perspective of the Kochi city high-rises and the industrial port. Request a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of the sprawling Vembanad Lake is not obstructed.
Hajar Mountains
The jagged peaks of the Al Hajar range dominate the landscape immediately after takeoff from Muscat.
Gulf of Oman
Expansive views of the deep blue waters as the aircraft transitions into the open Arabian Sea.
Malabar Coast
The first sight of India's lush, tropical shoreline appearing through the haze or clouds.
Backwater Networks
Views of the northern stretches of Kerala's famous lagoons as the plane descends toward the airport.
On daytime flights, sit on the left to avoid direct glare from the southern sun. Look for the transition from arid Omani terrain to the vibrant green of the Indian subcontinent roughly 30 minutes before arrival. During monsoon (June-September), this side offers dramatic cloud formations over the sea.
