Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally superior as it provides a front-row seat to the rugged Simhachalam hills of the Eastern Ghats immediately after takeoff and a better angle of the Godavari River crossing.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Simhachalam Hills

The dramatic, forested slopes of the Eastern Ghats that hug the city of Visakhapatnam.

🌉

Godavari River Crossing

A spectacular view of the massive rail-cum-road bridge near Rajahmundry as the plane traverses the river.

🌳

Telangana Woodlands

Dense patches of deciduous forests and undulating terrain near the Khammam-Telangana border.

🏘️

Hyderabad Outer Ring Road

The perfectly circular engineering marvel of the ORR as the flight begins its final descent into Shamshabad.

For the best experience, book a window seat on the right side for an afternoon flight. The sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the Godavari bridges and the Eastern Ghats. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes of takeoff for the best hill views.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Bay of Bengal Coastline

Panoramic views of the coastline and the Vizag Port area during the initial climb.

🌾

Godavari Delta

A tapestry of lush green paddy fields and intricate canal systems in the Konaseema region.

🏙️

Vijayawada Skyline

Distant views of the urban sprawl and the Prakasam Barrage spanning the Krishna River.

💧

Krishna River Meanders

The wide, winding path of the Krishna River as it flows toward the Bay of Bengal.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly scenic during the post-monsoon months (October to December) when the delta region is exceptionally green.
