Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior experience, featuring stunning views of the Mauritian lagoons upon departure, a clear perspective of the sunset over the Arabian Sea on afternoon flights, and the iconic Mumbai coastline and Bandra-Worli Sea Link during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏖️

Mauritius North Coast

Breathtaking views of the turquoise lagoons and coral reefs surrounding Grand Baie and Coin de Mire as the aircraft climbs north.

🌊

Deep Indian Ocean

Vast expanses of deep blue ocean, where you might spot whitecaps or distant cargo vessels navigating the trade routes.

🌅

Arabian Sea Sunset

If on a late-afternoon flight, this side provides a front-row seat to the sun dipping below the western horizon.

🏙️

South Mumbai Skyline

During the descent into Mumbai, view the dense cluster of skyscrapers in the Worli and Prabhadevi areas.

🌉

Bandra-Worli Sea Link

A spectacular view of the architectural marvel spanning the Mahim Bay just before touchdown on Runway 09 or 27.

Opt for an afternoon departure to witness a stunning sunset over the ocean. On the approach to Mumbai, sit forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline and the Sea Link, which is best seen when the flight aligns for Runway 09.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Round Island

A glimpse of the rugged, uninhabited volcanic island off the northern tip of Mauritius shortly after takeoff.

☁️

Intertropical Convergence Zone

Witness dramatic, towering cumulonimbus cloud formations often found over the equatorial Indian Ocean.

⛰️

Western Ghats

As the flight reaches the Indian mainland, enjoy views of the lush, mist-covered mountain ranges of Maharashtra.

🏗️

JNPT Port

View one of India's largest container ports and the industrial landscape of Navi Mumbai during the descent.

🏙️

Powai and Vihar Lake

If the aircraft circles for a landing from the east, you will see the greenery of Sanjay Gandhi National Park and the Powai skyline.

The right side is ideal for seeing the diverse terrain of the Indian mainland. During the monsoon season (June-September), this side offers dramatic views of the Western Ghats covered in clouds and waterfalls. Ensure you have a window seat away from the engine for the best photos of the mountains.
