Sharjah Lagoons
Aerial views of Khalid Lagoon and the dense urban skyline of Sharjah immediately after takeoff.
Hajar Mountains
The jagged, arid peaks of the Hajar range stretching across the UAE and Oman border.
Malabar Coastline
The first sight of India featuring the long, palm-fringed sandy beaches of Karnataka and Kerala.
Western Ghats
The misty, green mountain range that runs parallel to the coast, visible in the distance during descent.
Kochi Backwaters
The vast network of brackish lagoons and lakes, including Vembanad Lake, visible as you fly south.
Book a window seat on the left for daytime flights to maximize views of the Indian mainland. During the monsoon season (June-September), this side offers dramatic views of cloud formations over the Western Ghats. Watch for the change from the brown desert of the UAE to the intense tropical green of Kerala.

Arabian Sea
A deep blue expanse with clear views of the maritime shipping lanes between the Gulf and Asia.
Ocean Sunset
Unobstructed views of the sun dipping below the horizon on evening departures from Sharjah.
Vizhinjam Port
The massive new deepwater transshipment port visible just before the final approach into Trivandrum.
Kovalam Beach
The iconic crescent-shaped beach and the lighthouse are often visible during the final banking turn.
Select the right side for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the sea. On clear days, as the plane descends into TRV, this side provides the best angle for spotting the famous red-and-white striped lighthouse at Kovalam Beach. It is also the quieter side for those looking to avoid the glare of the morning sun.
