Ayeyarwady Delta
Witness the intricate maze of thousands of golden-green rice paddies and winding river tributaries shortly after takeoff.
Rakhine Coastline
Panoramic views of the pristine turquoise waters and white sands of the Bay of Bengal along the western Myanmar coast.
Meghna River Estuary
Observe the massive scale of the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta as the plane enters Bangladeshi airspace over the mouth of the Meghna.
Dhaka Urban Sprawl
A dense view of the expanding metropolis of Dhaka, characterized by its vibrant rooftops and heavy river traffic on the Buriganga.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct western sun glare. This side is particularly spectacular during the monsoon season (June-September) when the deltas are vibrant green and rivers are at full capacity, though cloud cover may be thicker.
