MXP → BKK
Which side of the plane to sit from Malpensa International Airport (Milano) to Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of dramatic mountain landscapes, including an immediate view of the Alps and distant views of the Himalayas, followed by a spectacular sunrise over Asia.
Alpine Majesty
Breathtaking views of the Monte Rosa massif and the Swiss-Italian Alps shortly after takeoff from Malpensa.
Caspian Sea
The northern coastline of Iran and the deep blue waters of the world's largest inland body of water.
Hindu Kush Range
Dramatic, rugged peaks across Afghanistan and Pakistan, visible to the north of the flight corridor.
Himalayan Horizon
On clear days, the distant white silhouettes of the world's highest mountain ranges are visible over the Indian subcontinent.
Asian Sunrise
A front-row seat to the sunrise as the aircraft travels east, typically occurring over Myanmar or Western Thailand.
Book a seat forward of the wing to maximize the view of the Alps during the climb. Since most MXP-BKK flights depart in the evening, the Alps are best seen in summer. The sunrise on this side is intense; have your camera ready as you approach the Myanmar-Thailand border.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate coastline and turquoise waters of Croatia and the Adriatic Sea during the first leg of the journey.
Iranian Deserts
Vast, mesmerizing patterns of the Dasht-e Kavir salt desert under the moonlight or late evening sun.
Indus River Delta
The massive, winding silver threads of the Indus River as it traverses the plains of Pakistan.
Bay of Bengal
The transition from the Indian landmass into the vast tropical waters before reaching Southeast Asia.
Chao Phraya Delta
Intricate networks of rivers and shrimp farms near the Gulf of Thailand during the final approach into Bangkok.
The right side is excellent for observing the coastal features of the Mediterranean and the arid beauty of the Middle East. If the flight arrives in BKK from the south, this side often provides a great view of the city's outskirts and the Gulf of Thailand's shipping lanes.
