Mauritian Coastline
Breathtaking views of the turquoise lagoons and coral reefs of Blue Bay immediately after takeoff.
Cargados Carajos Shoals
A group of remote atolls and sandbanks visible as the flight tracks north through the Indian Ocean.
Western Ghats
The dramatic green escarpment of the Sahyadri mountain range as the aircraft enters Indian airspace near the Konkan coast.
Deccan Plateau
Expansive views of the rugged volcanic terrain and seasonal river valleys of central India.
Arabian Sea Sunset
Stunning atmospheric colors over the open ocean on evening flight schedules.
For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid heat haze and obstructions. On afternoon flights, the left side is the 'cool' side (away from the direct sun) and provides the best sunset views. Keep your camera ready about 5-6 hours into the flight for the Indian coastline.
