Hardinge Bridge
Look down immediately after takeoff to see this iconic century-old steel railway bridge.
Padma River Majesty
The flight path follows the course of the Ganges/Padma, showing the scale of one of the world's largest river systems.
Aricha Confluence
Witness the powerful meeting point where the Jamuna and Padma rivers merge into a single massive flow.
Dhaka Cityscape
A panoramic view of the dense urban sprawl and the evolving skyline of central Dhaka during the final approach.
For the best experience, book a morning flight on the right side to have the sun behind you. This side provides an unrivaled view of the Hardinge and Lalon Shah bridges within minutes of leaving Rajshahi. During the monsoon season (June to September), the rivers are at their most majestic, filling the entire floodplains with water.

Jamuna River System
Breathtaking views of the braided Jamuna River with its ever-shifting sandbars and channels.
Bangabandhu Bridge
Spot one of the longest bridges in South Asia connecting the east and west of the country.
Emerald Plains
A carpet of green rice paddies and mustard fields stretching across the Tangail and Gazipur districts.
Northern Dhaka Suburbs
As you descend, witness the rapid urban expansion of Uttara and the Purbachal New Town project.
The left side is preferable for late afternoon flights to avoid the intense glare of the setting sun. It offers a cleaner view of the rural landscape of central Bangladesh and the northern entry points into the capital city. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes into the flight for the Jamuna crossing.
