Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular view of the Arabian Sea coastline, featuring historical forts, scenic beaches, and the dramatic entry into the Mumbai peninsula.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Dumas Beach

See the distinct dark sands of Surat's most famous beach immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Gulf of Khambhat

Expansive views of the Arabian Sea and the coastal shipping lanes.

🏰

Daman Coastline

Spot the colonial architecture and forts along the shoreline of this Union Territory.

🚤

Vasai-Virar Creeks

Intricate patterns of water and mangroves as the plane enters the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.

🌉

Bandra-Worli Sea Link

Depending on the wind-based approach path, you may see the iconic bridge over the sea.

This is the prime side for sunset flights, offering a golden hour view over the ocean. Choose a window seat forward of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the coastline during the low-altitude descent into BOM.

🏗️

Industrial Hubs

View the massive industrial belts of Navsari and Vapi as you fly south.

⛰️

Western Ghats

The foothills of the Sahyadri mountains are visible in the distance to the east.

🌳

Sanjay Gandhi National Park

A vast green canopy that marks the transition into the dense Mumbai suburbs.

🏙️

Mumbai Urban Sprawl

Witness the incredible density of the world's most packed residential neighborhoods.

Sit here during morning flights to avoid the direct sun glare and get better visibility of the mountains. Look out for the Tulsi and Vihar lakes within the green patches of Mumbai just before landing.
