Which side of the plane to sit from Saidpur Airport (Saidpur) to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Jamuna River crossing and the iconic Bangabandhu Bridge, alongside the unique topography of the Barind Tract.
Search flights from SPD to DAC
Barind Tract
Observation of the distinctive reddish soil and slightly undulating landscape characteristic of northwestern Bangladesh.
Bangabandhu Bridge
A direct view of the 4.8km long bridge spanning the Jamuna, a major landmark connecting east and west.
Jamuna River
Fantastic views of the braided river channels and shifting 'chars' (river islands) from a low altitude.
North Dhaka Sprawl
The rapid expansion of Dhaka's northern suburbs, including the high-rise blocks of Uttara.
DAC Final Approach
Low-level views of the Turag River and the intricate network of canals surrounding the capital.
The right side is optimal for capturing the scale of the Jamuna River. Be prepared for the bridge crossing roughly halfway through the short flight. During afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so window shades or sunglasses are recommended to combat glare.

Saidpur Takeoff
A clear view of the historic railway town and the northern aviation hub as you climb.
Teesta River
Aerial perspective of the wide, sandy beds of the Teesta River flowing down from the Himalayas.
Bengal Delta
An endless mosaic of emerald green rice paddies and seasonal mustard fields typical of North Bengal.
Brahmaputra Basin

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights. On exceptionally clear days, especially after the monsoon, you may catch a faint glimpse of the Meghalaya plateau to the northeast. Watch for the transformation from rural landscapes to the dense urban periphery of Dhaka.
