Sylhet Valley Edge
Catch glimpses of the southern foothills and the lush greenery surrounding the Sylhet region shortly after departure.
Bhairab Bridge
A highlight of the route, providing a bird's-eye view of the massive road and rail bridges spanning the mighty Meghna River.
River Traffic
Watch hundreds of cargo vessels and sand barges navigating the Shitalakshya and Meghna river systems from above.
Uttara Residential Area
During the final descent, get a detailed view of the planned sectors of Uttara and the busy traffic on the Airport Road.
Sit on the right for the best views of the river infrastructure. For evening flights, this side catches the sunset reflections over the Turag River during the descent into DAC. Aim for a window seat away from the wing to clearly see the Bhairab bridge crossing.
