Which side of the plane to sit from Vishakhapatnam Airport (Vishakhapatnam) to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad)?
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.
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.
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.
