Which side of the plane to sit from Trivandrum International Airport (Trivandrum) to Muscat International Airport (Muscat)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning Kerala coastline and the majestic Western Ghats early in the flight, followed by an impressive approach over Muscat's unique rocky terrain and city outskirts.
Kerala Backwaters
A bird's-eye view of the intricate network of lagoons and lush green canals shortly after takeoff from TRV.
Sahyadri Range
The majestic Western Ghats mountain range running parallel to the Indian coast with misty peaks.
Konkan Shoreline
Beautiful stretches of golden beaches and rocky cliffs along the coast of Karnataka and Maharashtra.
Mumbai Skyline
A distant but clear view of the dense urban landscape and the iconic Marine Drive if the flight path hugs the coast.
Omani Coastline
The dramatic meeting of the arid desert mountains and the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Oman on approach.
The right side is the prime choice for morning flights as the sun illuminates the Western Ghats and the Indian coastline. To maximize your view of Muscat's city outskirts and the Al Hajar mountains on arrival, stay alert during the final 20 minutes of the flight. Clear winter months (November to February) offer the best visibility of the Indian coastal features.
Arabian Sea Expanse
The deep blue, endless horizon of the Arabian Sea dominates the middle segment of the flight.
Lakshadweep Sea
Distant views of the northernmost atolls and coral reefs may be visible under clear weather conditions.
Al Hajar Mountains
The rugged and stark landscape of the Omani mountain ranges during the descent into Muscat.
Muscat Port Lanes
Watch for large cargo ships and tankers navigating the busy shipping lanes of the Gulf of Oman.
Select the left side for evening departures to witness a spectacular sunset over the Arabian Sea. During the final descent into Muscat, this side often provides a dramatic view of the stark, barren peaks of the Jebel Akhdar region, especially impressive as the sun sets and highlights the geological layers.
